All of these leaves fall right at my feet
And whisper to sit and pray
I gazed at the moon and started to swoon
Begged her to take me away
Well one night I dreamt I dreamt and I wept
And it was all misunderstood
The back of my eyelids filled up all the silence
While my mind was up to no good
And I disagree that all that we see
Is all that we'll have everyday
You were named by a river, came down with a fever
Too bold to want to stay
Oh I long to be free but there's some of me
That's terrified of this mind
And you were so free like a sail on the sea
I thought you were just my kind
And one night a tree fell right at my knee
And it was a weeping willow
I cried and I cried and we looked inside
To see that it was all hollow
Well who dug it out? Who dug it out?
And left it lying quite bare?
The soil reclaimed it, the stars, they did tame it,
You said, "don't look back, don't you dare."
Well I think it might have been a nightmare
Then the night faded without a care
Well I think it might have been a night mare
Well I think it might have been a night mare
