Well, I fell down from the tree of life Hit the branches on the way Yeah, way down to the root Found what's been bothering me And I'll tell you If you can hear above the din That I just can't get back To where I've been And if I ever found All that I wanted I've traveled the world All the way 'round If you ever gave me All I ever wanted I'd travel the world All the way 'round 'Cause I just can't get back to where I've been Well, I just can't get back to where I've been Well, I just can't get back to where I've been No, I just can't get back to where I've been 'Cause 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 Spectacle of plains 'Cause I just can't get back to where I've been Well, I just can't get back to where I've been Well, I just can't get back to where I've been Well, I just can't get back to where I've been Well, I fell down from the tree of life Hit the branches on the way Yeah, way down to the root Found what's been bothering me And I'll tell you If you can hear above the din No, I just can't get back To where I've been No, I just can't get back To where I've been 'Cause 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 Spectacle of plains 'Cause I fell down from the tree of life Hit the branches on the way Yeah, way down to the root Found what's been bothering me And I'll tell you If you can hear above the din No, I just can't get back To where I've been No, I just can't get back to where I've been No, I just can't get back to where I've been No, I just can't get back to where I've been No, I just can't get back to where I've been If I ever found All that I wanted Be a beautiful dream This is a beautiful dream These are beautiful dreams
