hmm...can't really tell you about my dream last night. but it was pretty damned good.

aaaaah, dreaming tree.

i just got a lovely shipment of shows from a nice little trade. the obsession continues...

i did have something that i wanted to write here. and now i've forgotten. blast.

now progress takes away
what forever took to find
and now he's falling hard
feels the falling dark
how he longs to be
beneath his dreaming tree
a conquered fear to climb
a moment froze in time
when the girl who first he kissed
promised him she'd be his

ah, the wonder that is the dreaming tree. such a wonderfully complex song - musically, lyrically...i've always appreciated it, but in the past few months i've really fallen in love with it. i'd go so far as to say that it is the best song on that album. move over pig...i'm headed for a dreaming tree campaign. yeah right.


do not deny
i know in my mind
i would leave you now
if i had the strength to
i would leave you up
to your own devices
will you not talk
can you take pity
i don't ask much
but won't you speak
please

from the start
she knew she had it made
easy up til then
for sure she'd make the grade
adorers came in hordes
to lay down in her wake
she gave it all she had
but treasure slowly faded
now she's falling hard
she feels the falling dark
how did this fall apart
she drinks to fill it up
a smile as sweet as flowers
wilted so and sour
black tears stained the cheeks
that once were so admired
she thinks when she was small
there on her fathers knees
how he had promised her
you'll always be my baby
daddy come quick
the dreaming tree has died
i can't find my way home
there is no place to hide
the dreaming tree has died


oh, if i had the strength to
i would leave you up
to your own devices
will you not talk
can you take pity
i don't ask much
but won't you speak
please

take me back...
save me please...


oh god. completely unbelievable. everyone needs to go listen to this song now. in fact, i think after i get back from my mom's(spaghetti for dinner! yay!) i'm going to smoke a bowl and listen again. maybe i'll hit up the entire show, though. hehe. 7/17/99. yum yum YUM.

i FINALLY got to talk to my jack today. bastard finally called. i miss him so damned much. but i get to see him next week for his 21st so it's all good. i'm burning a shiteload of shows for him - vegas, phoenix, a few acoustic and a few others that have yet to be decided on.

ohohoh! and colin comes home next week too! my best friend who goes to school in chicago. i haven't seen him since the beginning of january. i don't really miss him that much when he's gone because i don't think about it. but when it gets close to time for him to come home i start going a little zaney. we've been friends since freshman year in highschool, and while we're polar opposites we just love eachother to death. colin hugs are way up there in the ranks of people i love to hug.
