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
