The Bear Song Songtext
von PigPen Theatre Co.

Well I stared at a bear
Listening close, nose up to the evening
"Won′t you share your thoughts with me
Oh the thoughts you seem to thinking"

He said "I dream I dream I dream
That the leaves the leaves the leaves
They don't ever stop their changing, no,
Changing for me

But it seems it seems it seems
That the trees the trees the trees
They don′t ever stop their changing, no,
Changing their leaves

But when they die
I won't leave this world unknown
When they die
I won't leave this world unknown"


"I could teach you" I said
"All the ways to live with them forever"
"Don′t you coddle me boy, oh I know
All too well how to remember"

He said "I dream I dream I dream
That the leaves the leaves the leaves
They don′t ever stop their changing, no,
Changing for me

But it seems it seems it seems
That the trees the trees the trees
They don't ever stop their changing, no,
Changing their leaves

But when they die
I won′t leave this world unknown
When the die
I won't leave this world unknown"

Tell me, have you seen
Love dry, love cease to grow

I′ve caught fish so I know
The sound it makes when you let them go
It's the worst sound that I′ve ever known


Then came the snow
And the ice
Over the water
Over the water
Over my wate
