The Forest
We will wait for the moon
The sun is setting soon
Voices echo in the dunes
We hum a wistful tune
We won't be back in bed
Till the sun's coming up instead
The forest fills my head
What's live, and once was dead,
(Chorus)
So meet me at the edge of the forest
Bring your bike and bring your flashlight
We won't go in but if I'm honest,
The forest makes me feel alive
So look inside at the things that hide
And meet me at the edge of the forest at midnight
Did you see something change
A difference in the way
The wind rustles through the leaves
Like something deep is grieving
I know this isn't our land
None of this is the work of our hands
If we tread carefully, maybe they'll understand
(Chorus)
The moon lights our pathway tonight
All is clear all is bright
Road is straight, stars are white
Open backpack, flashlight
Times are changing
The trees are ever-aging
They'll be here to hear this song
And they'll be here when we're gone
(Chorus)
