Falling From The Tree

Levellers


Well I fell down from the tree of life 
Hit the branches on the way 
Way down to the root 
Found what's been bothering me 
And I'll tell you 
If you can hear above the din 
I just can't get back to where I've been 

If I ever found all that I wanted 
I've travelled the world all the way round 
If you ever gave me all I ever wanted 
I'd travel the world all the way round 

But I just can't get back to where I've been 

Cos I know a place and I want to be there 
I read it in the poems on the way down 
There it lies 
The unchecked country 
Far beyond the spectacle of plains 

But I just can't get back to where I've been 

Well I fell down from the tree of life 
Hit the branches on the way 
Way down to the root 
Found what's been bothering me 
And I'll tell you 
If you can hear above the din 
I just can't get back to where I've been 

But I just can't get back to where I've been 

What a beautiful dream 
These are beautiful dreams
