I heard a story about a bird
Who fell in love under a tree
The girl he loved lived in a house
In an orchard by the sea

And every day they used to kiss
Under the tree, close to the sea
They made love there so many times
Their bodies shining on the ground

Once upon a forest there was a tree
Will you dance with me my love?
Once upon a forest there was a tree
Will you dance with me?

One day the tide came up so high
It took the lovers by surprise
The water washed them from the ground
And brought them to the sea wild

And from their bed under the tree
A river ran down to the sea
And in the water a forest rose
Up to the sky wher the wind blows

Once upon a forest there was a tree
Will you dance with me my love?
Once upon a forest there was a tree
Will you dance with me?

Upon a forest was found the soul
Of a bird and a tree
Dancing for the love to be
With a girl above the sea
