[00:00.00]There Is a Tree - Carrie Newcomer
[00:15.38]Last night I dreamt you very near
[00:18.61]
[00:20.02]Though the night was dark beyond the glass
[00:23.48]
[00:25.12]I knew you'd left before I woke
[00:28.25]
[00:30.20]But you fogged the window when you passed
[00:33.80]
[00:35.31]The air was still and smelled like rain
[00:38.84]
[00:39.83]Though I'd never known so dry a spell
[00:43.30]
[00:44.78]And what I heard there in the dark
[00:48.07]
[00:50.11]Are the secrets I will never tell
[00:53.10]
[00:54.69]There is a tree beyond this world
[00:58.10]
[00:59.23]In it's ancient roots this song is curled
[01:02.88]
[01:03.72]I am the fool whose life's been spent
[01:07.05]
[01:08.42]Between what's said and what is meant
[01:11.59]
[01:24.90]I didn't mean what went so wrong
[01:28.17]
[01:29.51]Some things I wish I didn't know
[01:33.16]
[01:34.40]I've always lived inside my head
[01:37.64]
[01:40.00]And often utterly alone
[01:42.90]
[01:44.58]I'll be a pillow for your head
[01:48.26]
[01:49.33]You can make me promises you can't keep
[01:52.78]
[01:54.37]And I'll believe each word you've said
[01:57.84]
[01:59.61]And I'll hum to you while you sleep
[02:04.28]There is a tree beyond this world
[02:07.69]
[02:08.84]In it's ancient roots this song is curled
[02:12.50]
[02:13.25]I am the fool whose life's been spent
[02:16.94]
[02:18.00]Between what's said and what is meant
[02:21.19]
[02:34.41]You took me by my shaking hand
[02:37.87]
[02:39.35]Laughed at me and closed the door
[02:42.56]
[02:43.94]And you put your hands to my waist
[02:48.03]
[02:49.36]And you waltzed me round the kitchen floor
[02:53.36]
[02:54.08]There is a tree beyond this world
[02:57.57]
[02:58.59]In it's ancient roots this song is curled
[03:02.31]
[03:02.98]I am the fool whose life's been spent
[03:06.86]
[03:07.88]Between what's said and what is meant
[03:11.12]
[03:24.33]So I will wander without fail
[03:27.45]
[03:29.16]In circles that grow ever wide
[03:32.23]
[03:33.88]The sky expands and then exhales
[03:37.27]
[03:39.12]With an ache that never will subside
[03:42.65]
[03:43.84]There is a tree beyond this world
[03:47.18]
[03:48.29]In it's ancient roots this song is curled
[03:52.04]
[03:52.73]I am the fool whose life's been spent
[03:56.45]
[03:57.53]Between what's said and what is meant
