Moon Safari - A Tale Of Three And Tree lyrics

There was once a golden forest, with secrets only known To our three boys, brave as could be, that reached its inner sea From one afternoon of duties, the decision came to me To venture off the beaten path, where mother said to be How her words did haunt us when all green turned to black The treetops sound their warning out; Past here no turning back! If this forest you may leave, simple quest for thee Dive into the midnight sea, and find our golden key If we do, we trust you'll help us, to make our way back home Before morning breaks, and mother wakes, we had better sleep Sure thing said the sneaky trees, laughing amongst themselves Didn't their mother ever say: You cannot trust a tree. So long to your flesh and bone, the key is out on loan Home, home... make yourselves at home, in this golden dome Still we are trees, the sandman grieves, this dream will never leaf
