This is a very beautiful song, I wanted to play it and I didn’t find any tab. So I made it myself. I made my best with the lyrics, but I’m sure I’ve misunderstood something :P

F/C                     C
Our address was in the sky
Just a roof of woven reeds
        G         D       Am
You and I on the highest front
        F/C       C
Of a very tall tree

Months and months we stayed inside
Because climbing back up it takes such time
And we live on the blooms carried in by the breeze

Every night I promess you
We'd go down to see the friends we once knew
But every night I'd make an excuse
And I never came down from the roof

I woke up and you had flown
Just an impression of you next to me
And the terrible sound of the clapping of leaves

Every night I promess you
We'd go down to see the friends we once knew
But every night I'd make an excuse
And I never came down from the roof

Update (2006/08/07): I’ve updated the lyrics with the lyr-x.com user lostandsafe’s interpretation, which is more accurate than mine.
