what's that shining in the leaves
the shadowy leaves?
like tears when somebody grieves
shining, shining
shining in the leaves
is it dew or is it tears?
dew or tears
hanging there for years and years
like a heavy dew of heavy dew of
tears

like an army in a dream
those faces seem
darker, darker like a dream
but it's too real to be a dream
it's too real to be a dream

then that dew begins to fall
roll down and fall
maybe it's not tears at all
hear it falling on the ground
that is not a beautiful sound
beating, beating
beating on the ground

like an army in a dream
those faces seem
darker, darker like a dream
but it's too real to be a dream
it's too real to be a dream

see it lying there like seeds
like black seeds
see it taking root like weeds
faster, faster
faster than the weeds
fruit or flower?
it is a face, yes a face
in that dark and dreary place
each seed grows
into a face

like an army in a dream
those faces seem
darker, darker like a dream
but it's too real to be a dream
it's too real to be a dream
