Dm Dm Am
Staning here the old man said to me "Long before these crowded streets
Am Dm Dm
Here stood my dreaming tree" Below it he would sit For hours at a time
Am Am Dm
Now progress takes away What forever took to find Now he's falling hard
Dm Am Am
He feels the falling dark How he longs to be Beneath his dreaming tree
Dm Dm
Conquered fear to climb A moment froze in time When the girl who first
Am Am Dm
he kissed Promised him she'd be his Remembered mother's words There
Dm Am Am
beneath the tree "No matter what the world You'll always be my baby"
Dm Dm Am
Mommy come quick The dreaming tree has died The air is growing thick A
Am Dm
fear he cannot hide The dreaming tree has died

F D A
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

>[Verse 2]:
Dm Dm Am
From the start She knew she had it made Easy up 'til then
Am Dm
For sure she'd make the grade Adorers came in hordes To lay down in
Dm Am Am
her wake She gave it all she had But treasures slowly fade Now she's falling
Dm Dm Am
hard She feels the fall of dark How did this fall apart She drinks to fill
Am Dm Dm
it up A smile of sweetest flowers Wilted so and soured Black tears stain the
Am Am Dm
cheeks That once were so admired She thinks when she was small there on her
Dm Am Am
father's knee How he had promised her "You'll always be my baby"
Dm Dm Am
"Daddy come quick The dreaming tree has died I can't find my way home
Am Dm
There is no place to hide The dreaming tree has died"
>[Bridge 2]
>[Chorus]
G
Oh if I had the strength to
F D A
I would leave you up To your own devices Will you not talk
G F D A
Can you take pity I don't ask much But won't you speak Please

Take me back ... Save me please
