The Tree

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
