Top of the Trees Lyrics

I don't expect to be happy

I don't care to be wealthy

I don't want to be confused

I just want to be at peace

I long for the place

At the top of the trees

In the summers with Autumn's breeze

But the leaves are still green

My knees are weak

Maybe I'll rest my feet

At the place near the top of the trees

Where the moths and beetles agree

The river is in sight

But only at this height

If I walk I can make it there by night

The hierarchy of greens and purples

And shades I've never seen

And everything in between

This is where everything meets

What a swell breeze at the top of the trees

I'm frigid might freeze

Can't think I can't breathe

I've been searching but do you think

We ever find peace

I've had moments at least

But they never come cheap

It's living and I can't pout I can't cry

Can't but in to my daily struggle

You wouldn't survive

Contemplate yours

What's the struggling for

So you can say that you did it

It ain't my dude it's your

Modern day lords ain't impressed by a chord

David what's all that hallelujah for

It's living and I

Will sleep when I die

Or when I can't handle this world anymore
