Cherry Tree

One, two, three

In between awake and sleeping

When the door opens to dreaming

That's when music starts playing

That's when the words come to me

And I leap from the dream to catch it

But by then it has run away

So it is this fear of losing

Every time I finally lay

Oh, did I waste my time

Lying in the sun like

It comes so easy

And everything's just for me?

Life's a big old cherry tree

Chasing rainbows and staying high

And nothing gonna take me down

I am so me now

What does it mean to be consumed by ideas

But only in your sleep

Is this a cruel joke

My mind is playing on me?

It's like they got a leash on their minds

Mine's loose on a busy street

And he's got in his mouth the ticket

That's gonna set me free

Oh, am I wasting time

Lying in the sun like

It comes so easy

And everything's just for me?

Life's a big old cherry tree

Chasing rainbows and staying high

And nothing gonna take me down

I am so me now, I am so me now

Midlife will sneak up on you

You end up on your knees

Asking it where it went wrong

And asking it what it needs

And everyone else is flying

So high they can hardly see

That you're stuck down on the ground

With ideas won't come to be

Oh, did I waste my time

Chasing old dreams and fearing the night?

Now the whole thing brings me down

And I can't stop asking why

Nothing's where it's supposed to be

Not even in my own mind

I no longer feel like me

I no longer feel like me

I no longer feel like me
