Staning here the old man said to me "Long before these crowded streets
Am Dm DmHere stood my dreaming tree" Below it he would sit For hours at a time
Am Am DmNow progress takes away What forever took to find Now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark How he longs to be Beneath his dreaming tree
Dm DmConquered fear to climb A moment froze in time When the girl who first
Am Am Dmhe 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"
Dm Dm AmMommy come quick The dreaming tree has died The air is growing thick A
Am Dmfear he cannot hide The dreaming tree has died

Can you take pity I don't ask much But won't you speak Please

[Verse 2]:
Dm Dm Am
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
Dm Am Amher wake She gave it all she had But treasures slowly fade Now she's falling
Dm Dm Amhard 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
Am Am Dmcheeks That once were so admired She thinks when she was small there on her
Dm Am Amfather's knee How he had promised her "You'll always be my baby"
"Daddy come quick The dreaming tree has died I can't find my way home
Am DmThere is no place to hide The dreaming tree has died"
