Under Trees

Under trees is where I lay
The damp of the Earth brings me to wake
Their heights climb, up to the moon
While I can't seem to move

Once I lived in one mind
But that was over when my disorder
Brought me into two lives
The one there, the other not far

I sleepwalk through the wardrobe
To where the snow falls
Two feet outside my room
Disappear behind the winter coats
To where the creatures roam
Foolproof to the cold

I've lost the light
Swear I've seen my mother's face
Felt my father's embrace
They're on the outside looking in
I must seem stranger ever since

Once I lived in one mind
But that was over when my disorder
Brought me into two lives
The one here, the other over there

I sleepwalk through the wardrobe
To where the snow falls
Two feet outside my room
Disappear behind the winter coats
To where the creatures roam
Foolproof to the cold

I've lost the light
I've lost the light

The trees talk to the ladies of the wind
As they go dancing around them
And all the bookbirds and the creatures
Of the woods are running late again

I've lost the light
It's fine it happens all the time
I've lost the light
It happens all the time

Under trees I plead my case
Too long I've lived under their reign
Their branches strangle out the light
I've been abandoned by the sky
