A Tree That Cried

from I Used to Dream by Bill White

/

lyrics

A tree that cried
for those who died
Hanging from its arms
Became a girl
Who spun and twirled
And sang a weeping song

When she arrived at the city
Incredibly pretty
They put her on a stage
She started to sing
Her tears would bring
Out the sorrow and the pity of the tree

The people heard
Her crying words
Tears began to fall
Into sorrow so deep
The song that weeped
Covered them, one and all

As the water recedes
She goes back to the tree
Still weeping for all humanity
In the forest of dreams
The world hears the screams
But the killings go on and on
