Lyrics of Dreaming Tree by Dave Matthews Band
verse
Standing here
The old man said to me:
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
verse
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
verse
And now he's falling hard
And feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
verse
Conquered fear to climb
The moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
pre-chorus
Remembered Mother's words
There beneath the tree:
"No matter what the world
You'll always be my baby"
chorus
Mommy, come quick
The dreaming tree has died
Can't find my way home
I have no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died
verse
Oh, have you no pity?
This thing I do
I do not deny it
All through this smile
verse
As crooked as danger
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
verse
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
verse
Will you not talk?
Can you take pity?
I don't ask for much
But won't you speak, please?
verse
From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then
For sure she'd make the grade
verse
Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her way
She gave it all she had
And treasures slowly faded
verse
Now, she's falling hard
She feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart?
She drinks to fill the dark
verse
A smile as sweet as flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
pre-chorus
She thinks when she was small
There on her father's knee
How he had promised her:
"You'll always be my baby"
chorus
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
verse
Oh, if I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
verse
Will you not talk?
Can you take pity?
I don't ask for much
Won't you speak, please?
verse
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
outro
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back
Save me, please
