Peggy Lee - The Tree Lyrics

When your love rains down just like diamonds all aroundStrange and changing sound transformation in the groundGreat and winding tree splits the earth from sea to seaAnd my lover comes to me, bids me follow endlesslyAs she laughs and starts to climb through the branches and the vinesThrough the tangle of our mindsFor this tree you see it grows, never-endingWhen your love flows free just the way its meant to beAll these chains that bind I find I quickly leave behindAnd all the earth below seems a thin and fleeting snowAnd my father I concede is further up upon the treeAnd his beard is made of bees dancing wildly in the leavesAnd my lover says to me you must be blind if youre to seeMust walk behind if youre to leadMust be the soil to the seed never-endingFor I feel the years like distant gears may turn and come to restWhere they dwell within my chestLet my spirit coalesceYes and death is dressed in colors blessed a mystery I confess I cannot seeWhen your love rains down the sound of singing so profoundFills the ground so deep like a weeping mothers sleepAs a baby's breath whispers death so none can hearAnd I passed the ancient seerEntering the atmosphereIn a tree that never ends with my lover and our friendsEntering the black of spaceWe replace the stars that shine never-ending
