The Levellers
"Falling From The Tree"


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


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

But I just can't get back to where I've been

What a beautiful dream
These are beautiful dreams
