Daniel Lanois
Tree of Tule
Traveler, I want to break free
Is there something out there for me?
Where I go that's where I stay
At the thousand year old Tree of Tule
If your head is down
And you've been hurt
It will bring you home
To touch the earth

Traveler, what did you find?
Did you lose your heart, courage and mind?
Wandering into the dark
I saw fields of fire from a spark

The wind, she rose
And carried the flame
To the river
And there washed my name

Wrinklеs and rings, my testimony of the time
Undеr your shadow you sheltered me in your arms
Standing there in awe of your splendour
Like sweet communion It floods my soul

Traveler, I want to be free
Is there something out there for me?
Where I go that's where I stay
At the thousand year old Tree of Tule
If your head is down
And you've been hurt
It will bring you home
To touch the earth
