Ash Morse - Yamma Tree Man Lyrics

Far away in the land of who knows
A beat up, bush-top Yamma Tree grows
Far away from the people who care
It's believed there once was a man who lived there
Spent all day just dancing in the sun
Unbeknown to most everyone
Til it came one terrible day
The Yamma Tree Man just went away now

Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
They say you're a lie, I don't want to believe it
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
If you're still alive I don't want to give up on it
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
Crazy man dance like a crazy man can
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
I don't know
I don't know

Years I walked most every day
In hope that man would wander my way
Seek to find the answers untold
Been gone so long I've lost my home now
I spend all day just walking in the sun
Unbeknown to most everyone
Seems I will much happier be
A wandering fool who's wandering free now

Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
They say you're a lie, I don't want to believe it
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
If you're still alive I don't want to give up on it
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
Crazy man dance like a crazy man can
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
I don't know
I don't know

Look, see, they tell me I'm crazy 'cause I still believe
There's someone out there who can be happy
With nothing more than a tree and some sun beaming down
And a warm summer breeze and I ask them
Who's crazier, me, or someone who settles for a life of mediocrity?
Man, that used to be me now all I want to know
Is this new-found freedom and where, oh where did you go?

My Yamma Tree Man
They say you're a lie, I don't want to believe it
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
If you're still alive I don't want to give up on it
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?
Crazy man dance like a crazy man can
Where have you gone my Yamma Tree Man?

I lost myself in mindless convolutions
Rid myself of all of life's illusions
I lost myself to find myself
Now it's plain for me to see
My story ends dancing down by this tree
Just to find that this crazy old man was me and

Where did you go my Yamma Tree Man?
All my life I've felt so stranded
Where did you go my Yamma Tree Man?
Since I was a child I lost you
Where did you go?
My Yamma Tree Man
All my life I've felt so stranded
Where did you go my Yamma Tree Man?
Oh, where did you go?
