Lyrics

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
