Spirit Tree Lyrics

Spirit tree, may I lie down in your shade?
I'm hot and tired, my clothes are torn,
can't go another day.
Cooling in your shadow, admit that I have failed and
watch my apprehension suspended in your green.
Can I lay down in your bed of grass and roof of leaves?

Spirit tree -- shelter from the day.
That evil sun, unblinking eye,
I'll make him take the blame.
A victim of my passions, the voice of no restraint;
feverish obsessions, my own worst enemy
Will you lead me down a path of songs
to a field of dreams?

Kerosene flowing in my veins
The heated words, the angry lies,
I'm too close to the flame.
A primitive reaction poisoning my brain and
clouding up my vision - burns like acrolene.

Spirit tree, your branches open wide.
Hold me close and bring me water,
my throat is clenched and dry.
Beyond your shadow we all come back to you:
the grasses bow their heads in prayer,
heavy with the dew.
Will you dress me in your robe of clouds and hat of sky?
