Falling From The Tree

Levellers · Green Blade Rising [2002]

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



What a beautiful dream

These are beautiful dreams
