A tree standing alone in a field
I know, its a story that's been told before
For a thousand people has seen this tree
Told its story a hundred times more
Alone it stood with glory and pride
Bathing in the sun, breathing in the wind
Yes alone it stood, no reason to hide
Shading the travelers stopping by to rest
I went on a very long walk one day
Saw the tree and stopped by to unwind
Sat on the grass beneath the shading leaves
For I was tired and wanted to rest my mind
The field looking out to a far away train station
Out in the open, by the tree I sat
Longing to reach my very own destination
But too tired, I laid down on the grass
Drifted into a dream world I did
But not alone, for the tree came with me
With music that came from the dark side of the moon
To a place where everyone long to be
The tree danced all around bewildered I
The branches, the trunk, the roots; the whole tree
Lots of little and lovely butterflies flying high
A dream so vivid I could remember today
And through the dance the tree started to change
The branches faded into lovely flowing hair
The trunk into a body so difficult to describe
My eyes stared at the face that was oh so fair
A strange beauty stood before my eyes
Forced me to start to think for myself
Could this be really some kind of lies
For isn't this just a dream I am dreaming
And then I heard the bells ringing
Wondered if they were up on the hill
Till I saw the birds in the sky winging
I haven't seen them till there was her
Quite suddenly she stopped dancing
Walked up to me in a walk to remember
She took my hand and held it tight
And all I ever wanted to do was hold her
And if she's beside me, I know I need never care
For all the world was long gone
Me and her, the only thing that was ever there
Both knew that this is our home
