Intro

 StandingDm here

 The old man saidA♯ to me,

 "Long before these crowdCed streets

 Here stood my dreaming tAmree."

 Below it he woulDmd sit

 For hours at a tA♯ime

 Now progress takCes away

 And now he's falDmling hard

 He feels the falA♯ling dark

 How he longs to Cbe

 Beneath his dreaAmming tree

 Conquered fear tDmo climb

 A moment froze iA♯n time

 When the girl whCo first he kissed

 Promised him sheAm'd be his

 Remembered motheDmr's words

 There beneath thA♯e tree

 "No matter what Cthe world

 You'll always beAm my baby."

 "Mommy come quicDmk,

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

Gave it all she had

But treasures slowly fade

Now she's falling hard

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 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?
