lyrics

FOREST

You gave me a forest girl
Somewhere in my mind’s eye
A place to get lost
A place to wonder why
Indigos, greens and aquamarines
Slim, stark shadows against the sky
Where foggy twilight curls and turns
In watery lullaby

You stood there at the edge girl
Where the day drains away
Into sudden night
A turning-point in light
You put it onto canvass with your own fair hand
The dreamscape of a northern land
Swept those oils across your space
With bravado and grace

You took on my darkness made it real
You gave me your blues and let me heal

I’ve been there in your forest girl
Felt its needles brush my skin
Immersed myself in the mystery
Of contemplating sin
It’s beautiful deep among those trees
Cold and clear and sharp as the frost
A neverland where my thoughts can unfurl
To live and know the cost

I’ve been submerged in ice and fire
Call myself crazy, call myself a liar
I see beyond the forest line
I see the future and claim it mine
Thank you for your forest girl
I’m going there when the world gets too much
Take a step back from the human race
But today I’ll stand in the fields with the sun on my face and

You took on my darkness made it real
You gave me your blues and let me heal

You took on my darkness made it real
You gave me your blues and let me heal
