Old Man Tree

I met a man who was a treeDid I see him or he see me?Standing there majesticallyTree and me...

The smell of sun on autumn leavesHe said take good care of all you seePraise the earth down on your kneesThat's what the old man sang to me

He sangHeya Heya HeyaHeya Heya heyaHey Hey Hey HeyaHeya Hey

Life left you a broken boy, manTo fight the war an angry young manNow it's time to be a shamanTake these wings and learn to fly man

I lost my grip and took a tripOn a magic mushroom rocket shipRode the waves and didn't flipThe rainbow-flavoured astral trip

Heya Heya HeyaHeya Heya heyaHey Hey Hey HeyaHeya Hey

The words they flow like melodyThrough gnarly old man/tree and meFrom root to bone from him to meJust like the river to the seaNow I am he as tree is meAnd I'm not here and so is he'Cause in my mind I'm always freeJust like tree that sang to me

The first shall never be the lastThere is no future and no pastPut brother Flame to sister GrassLet's celebrate the Pagan mass

Heya Heya HeyaHeya Heya heyaHey Hey Hey HeyaHeya Hey 2x

Heey
