The Tree

When your love rains down just like diamonds all around Strange and changing sound transformation in the ground Great and winding tree splits the earth from sea to sea And my lover comes to me, bids me follow endlessly As she laughs and starts to climb through the branches and the vines Through the tangle of our minds For this tree you see it grows, never-ending When your love flows free just the way its meant to be All these chains that bind I find I quickly leave behind And all the earth below seems a thin and fleeting snow And my father I concede is further up upon the tree And his beard is made of bees dancing wildly in the leaves And my lover says to me you must be blind if youre to see Must walk behind if youre to lead Must be the soil to the seed never-ending For I feel the years like distant gears may turn and come to rest Where they dwell within my chest Let my spirit coalesce Yes and death is dressed in colors blessed a mystery I confess I cannot see When your love rains down the sound of singing so profound Fills the ground so deep like a weeping mothers sleep As a babys breath whispers death so none can hear And I passed the ancient seer Entering the atmosphere In a tree that never ends with my lover and our friends Entering the black of space We replace the stars that shine never-ending
