The Tree Songtext
von Spencer Cullum

I had a tree
In the dream hills where my childhood would lay
And I′d go there in the wild, wild long days
And my tree would listen to all that I would say

And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling


Then one day when the world has put me in its tomb
And my life was just an empty room
And I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom

And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying
And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying
And the light was fading dimly and the sky was crying

Then my tree bent its branches low down to the ground
And its green leaves shrouded up my mind
And I left the world somewhere behind
And I did not know what I would find


And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
And the sun was shining brightly and the sky was smiling
