Treetop Song Lyrics

Treetop Song - The Mountain Goats

Lyrics by:John Darnielle

Composed by:John Darnielle

 

All along the interstate

 

The palm trees were calling out to me

And the line of them stretched down the highway forever

 

As far as I could see

And I waited till the sun was coming up

 

Light morning traffic and a cool spring breeze

And I heard the old voices calling down to me

 

From the tops of the trees

 

When I got up to the top my head got light

And for a minute everything in the world was alright

And I saw the next tree just ten feet away

Give or take a few feet I guess

And then I pushed off into the air with all my might

And headed out into the center of the morning light

And I knew that I was gonna make it

 

The new tree hardly shook to acknowledge my arrival

 

And I knew that I would be alright
