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
  Now he's falling hard
  He feels the falling dark
  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
  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
  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
  I can't find my way home
  There is no place to hide
  The dreaming tree has died
  Oh if I had the strength
  Take me back
  Save me please
