Tree Lyrics

I see you lying there

Sheep's wool in your hair

You used to stand so tall

Before you took the fall

A haven where weary travellers rest

No favours taken, you were best

A metaphor for a man I knew

He had dreams, just like you

Reached for the stars, touched the sky

Where moonbeams twinkled in his eyes

He hoped his dreams would come true

And he could be just like you

But that was just so hard to do

A haven where weary travellers rest

No favour taken, he'd be the best

He'd see a shooting star go by

Burn so bright and slowly die

Then down to earth he would fall

Not one of us heard his call

A metaphor for a man I knew

He had dreams, just like you

Reached for the stars, touched the sky

Where moonbeams twinkled, in his eyes

The morning came, the sun rose up

And just like you he gave up

And now he lives in the past

His memories they won't last

His body tired, his soul is dead

No more dreams in his head

He wanted to be just like you

A haven for weary travellers to rest

No favour taken, he'd be best

A metaphor for a man I knew

He had dreams, just like you

Reached for the stars, touched the sky

Where moonbeams twinkled, in his eyes

He'd see a shooting star go by

Burn so bright and slowly die
