Cover art for The Dreaming Tree lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

This is one of my favorite DMB songs. To me, it's about when dreams die in the whole growing up process. Hearts being broken, Ideals being crushed, etc. And when these dreams die, it's so easy to feel lost in the world and just wish that you could go back to the days of "sitting under the dreaming tree".
