The Last Tree (5:08)
From The Last Tree
“Another classic for the ages, «The Last Tree» marries ancient, apocalyptic fears with the planet’s present, precarious situation:
Someday the last tree is going to fall
And kill us all
Until then let’s just pretend
That I’m alright
And you are alright
Even for nature lovers and tree huggers, there’s no sanctuary from the inevitable. In the meantime, we can only pretend. And how sweet that can be, all of us trapped in our own lonely, but miraculous and magical consciousnesses whose boundaries we tend to fear, until we hear the reassuring words of someone unafraid:
Close your eyes and follow me
Into a world only I can see
And if I get lost there, don’t wait for me
I’ll be alright…”
