Well I stared at a bear Listening close, nose up to the evening “Won't you share your thoughts with me Oh the thoughts you seem to thinking” He said “I dream I dream I dream That the leaves the leaves the leaves They don't ever stop their changing, no Changing for me But it seems it seems it seems That the trees the trees the trees They don't ever stop their changing, no Changing their leaves But when they die I won't leave this world unknown When they die I won't leave this world unknown” “I could teach you” I said “All the ways to live with them forever” “Don't you coddle me boy, oh I know All too well how to remember”
He said “I dream I dream I dream That the leaves the leaves the leaves They don't ever stop their changing, no Changing for me But it seems it seems it seems That the trees the trees the trees They don't ever stop their changing, no Changing their leaves But when they die I won't leave this world unknown When the die I won't leave this world unknown” Tell me, have you seen Love dry, love cease to grow (X3) I've caught fish so I know The sound it makes when you let them go It's the worst sound that I've ever known Then came the snow And the ice Over the water Over the water Over my water
