paroles de chanson Dreaming Tree - Live at Sleep Train Amphitheatre, Marysville, CA 07.30.03 - Dave Matthews Band

Standing here, the old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it, he would sit for hours at a time
Now progress takes away what forever took to find
And now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
And how he longs to be beneath his dreaming tree

Conquered fear to climb, a moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed promised him she'd be his
Remembered mother's words, there beneath the tree
"No matter what the world, you'll always be my baby"
"Mommy, come quick, the dreaming tree has died"
The air is growing thick, a fear he cannot hide
The dreaming tree has died

Oh, have you no pity?
This thing I do, I do not deny it
All through this smile, as crooked as danger
I do not deny
But I know in my mind
I would leave you now if I had the strength to
I would leave you up to your own devices
Will you not talk? Can you take pity?
I don't ask much, but won't you speak, please?

From the start, she knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then, for sure she'd make the grade
Adorers came in hordes to lay down in her wake
She gave it all she had, but treasures slowly fade
And now she's falling hard, she feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart? She drinks to fill it up
A smile of sweetest flowers wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks that once were so admired

She thinks when she was small, there on her father's knee
How he had promised her, "You'll always be my baby"
"Daddy come quick, the dreaming tree has died"
The air is growing thick, a demon down his hide
The dreaming tree has died

Oh, if I had the strength to
I would leave you up to your own devices
Will you not talk? Can you take pity?
I don't ask much, but won't you speak, please?

Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Save me please, oh

Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back, oh
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
