Duncan Browne - Dwarf In A Tree

Dwarf In A Tree
There was a dwarf who lived in a tree,
I could see him just like you see me.
He told me secrets I never knew
Misfortune would fill him with glee.

I gave him smiles, he gave me words
And said that I should hear what he said
That you and I should walk through our ears
Into darkness and enter our heads

See our thoughts like films on screen,
Play back what we don't understand,
Rub out words we never meant
Vanish tears with a smile of hand

what people say is said for all time
We remember what we should forgot
Putting words to beautiful mime
And confusion is all that we get

To say hello is all that's required
Dig too deep and you get in a mess
Forcing smiles with lips are tired
If you don't know the truth then you guess

The dwarf would laugh and stand on his head
Hang upside from the tree
And say that reason should be left unsaid
Or you'll end up a dwarf like me

You'll stunt your mind and cripple your heart
Waiting to know why and what
And start to panic when boredom starts
So just be glad to have what you've got

the tree is gone and so has the dwarf
And all that's left is hole
But don't be fooled that he's gone far away
He's just biding his time in your soul

[seesaw75]

it really sounds like donovan

the voice too

i just didn't know before now i click on a jackson c franck page

really good

nowadays, nobody composes that kind of music

though, a little bit of sweetness but not sirupy as celine dion, lara fabian, obispo, florent pagny... (i'm french)

[MDJarv]

Great tune.
