歌曲名 There Is a Tree

歌手名 Carrie Newcomer

Last night I dreamt you very near

Though the night was dark beyond the glass

I knew you'd left before I woke

But you fogged the window when you passed

The air was still and smelled like rain

Though I'd never known so dry a spell

And what I heard there in the dark

Are the secrets I will never tell

There is a tree beyond this world

In it's ancient roots this song is curled

I am the fool whose life's been spent

Between what's said and what is meant

I didn't mean what went so wrong

Some things I wish I didn't know

I've always lived inside my head

And often utterly alone

I'll be a pillow for your head

You can make me promises you can't keep

And I'll believe each word you've said

And I'll hum to you while you sleep

There is a tree beyond this world

In it's ancient roots this song is curled

I am the fool whose life's been spent

Between what's said and what is meant

You took me by my shaking hand

Laughed at me and closed the door

And you put your hands to my waist

And you waltzed me round the kitchen floor

There is a tree beyond this world

In it's ancient roots this song is curled

I am the fool whose life's been spent

Between what's said and what is meant

So I will wander without fail

In circles that grow ever wide

The sky expands and then exhales

With an ache that never will subside

There is a tree beyond this world

In it's ancient roots this song is curled

I am the fool whose life's been spent

Between what's said and what is meant
