Olive Tree (Remastered) Lyrics

Midsummers dream

Lit summer eve

Sunny days

Splendid drunken scenes

You passed me a cigarette

It's colour green

As we laid

Under the big olive tree

I felt you

with all of me

Skin softer than

The incoming breeze.

Wondering

Is this all a dream?

Will love reveal

If God is real?

Cuz we were nothing but beings

In our garden of Eden,

Searching for someone to be and

Looking for something to see and

Cooking for something to eat

Cuz all we had on us

Were covers and sheets

We stayed up till dawn

Tried not to sleep,

Till one night you uttered at me

"I'm sorry but

I've got to leave"

And I awoke alone

To a rising sun

Asked myself

Where the time had gone and

Where I might find someone

To light my tunnel

Who I can cuddle with

And write a couple songs,

Light a couple bongs

To forget my problems

And fight the troubles off,

Try to struggle on

But we took our separate routes

Grew apart like were selling the house

Still there was never a doubt

About whether we'd end up together

Just when where and how.

But now I feel like I'm bouncing pebbles

Like any next step I can drown

So till my body goes under,

Ima walk on this water

With my head in the clouds like

It's very strange

Twisted rules in this scary game

Makes me wanna make like Tarzan

Just live in trees

And marry Jane

Cuz this ain't cinderella man

No I'm not the one the fairy saves

Still telling these stories I can't

Tell if I'm normal

Or barely sane

Cuz this room is empty

But I'm not alone

So who is with me?

I gotta know

Cuz I believe this fire breathing mighty

Creature might just have

A lot to show me

As I repeatedly read my rhymes

I finally see how I've gotten lonely

And the reason I

Don't even mind is that I can feel time

Stopping slowly

Like nothing has happened

Like we're stuck in the past,

No, like honestly

Cuz I'm discovering that as

I thought of this rap

It brought me back

To that olive tree.

And I'm rubbing your back,

You're back,

You're back on top of me

Holding onto me

Like we're under attack

Or we suffered a crash

And we're somewhere lost at sea

Regardless, I

I'm drifting away

Had my ticket for ages

But I think that I'll stay

And I'll be sinking in minutes

Cuz this shit comes in waves

But when it hits me I'm weightless

Like I'm swimming in space

We're on different pages

In separate places everyday

But I'll remember your face

If we never should make it

And I'll be wide awake

Night and day

Writing these letters to save me like

It's Escher
