The Tree

I had a tree In the dream hills where my childhood would lay And I'd go there in the wild, wild long days And my tree would listen to all that I would say And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling Then one day when the world has put me in its tomb And my life was just an empty room And I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying Then my tree bent its branches low down to the ground And its green leaves shrouded up my mind And I left the world somewhere behind And I did not know what I would find And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
