Mr. Raintree - Nature’s love By Mark Neihart ©2016 Standing in an enchanted forest, near some autumn’s day Ah, the iridescent foliage had stepped out a while to dance And watch me. The trees were moving carelessly about me to a fro As one stopped by he picked me up and said “Come on son, I’ll take you where I’m going.” I climbed into his branched there among the birds I sang A hundred voices headed towards the mountain And as the day grew westward, we came into a vale He slowed his stride, My eyes were wide What I saw there, set my soul to sail Mister Raintree, what you’ve got to show to me Takes the world from my shoulder With mister sunshine gleaming from his holy shrine The Tennessee Valley, waits for me. The mystery of the forest, ah, the secrets of the vale Was opened up in front of me in some joyous dancing pageantry The evening twilight canopy bloomed silently above As I watch the show, a moment seized me and drown me in the tide of natures love….. YEA! Mister Raintree, what you’ve got to show to me Takes the world from my shoulder With mister sunshine gleaming from his holy shrine The Tennessee Valley, waits for me. The night grew into daylight I awoken with the dawn I was all alone and lying in a meadow The memory of the night before was echoed in the ground The way it made me feel is with me still and will be till I lay my body down. Mister Raintree, what you’ve got to show to me Takes the world from my shoulder With mister sunshine gleaming from his holy shrine The Tennessee Valley, waits for me. Carry On Whereupon Babylon Swan Spawn Yawn The evening twilight canopy bloomed silently above Descended as the sun went down it took me to a dream land on the dale As ancient as the forest, with wisdom of the owl Raintree rested, never in a hurry I had a chance to see A wise old man That tree he said to me “Lay your head onto my boughs, rest you weary mind and set it free.” Trees don’t sleep. Were In full sight in that evening light Each needle on the pine tree every flower in the meadow The night grew into daylight I awoken with the dawn Restless I returned the way to freedom I sat alone and wondered what I’d been given All alone and laying in a meadow All alone I wondered what marvel I had found Alone but for impressions of my memory The forest had that morning glow of splendor The memory of the night before echoed The way it made me feel is with me still and will be till I lay my body down The mystery of the forest, ah, the secrets of the vale Was opened up in front of me in some joyous dancing pageantry The evening twilight canopy bloomed silently above I watch the show, the starlight’s glow, drowning in the tide of natures love….. YEA! Wonder-eyed and awestruck I just sat a watched the show Natures dance, my human trance - a billion years of starlight in the flow. The night grew into daylight I awoken with the dawn The forest had that morning glow of splendor The memory of the night before echoed The way it made me feel is with me still and will be till I lay my body down. 1 we the we He 2 wear es found Stopped 3 ied sense a there 4 of of dus on 5 the my ky the 6 trail tale Vale Trail We found a Dusky vale A round and A dark and A dim and A magic There opened up a vale We found a dusky vale We drew into a vale As the day grew westward he stopped there on the trail The night grew into daylight I awoken with the dawn I was all alone and lying in a meadow The memory of the night before was echoed in the ground The way it made me feel is with me still and will be till I lay my body down.
