The Forest Lyrics

I was walking through the grass that night

I was so excited

I was thrilled to be invited on this path

I brushed the flowers as I passed them

And I sang a silent anthem

Hoping you would know my story by my song

And as the forest fanned around me

And its creatures crawled out slowly

The wind was whispering that I belonged

When I saw you

When I saw you

Did you see me too

You were hiding 'hind a redwood

Being braver still than I could

Wondering if you would if I would make a move

Through the distance I could feel you

Through the greenery you peered through

And my longing to be near you made me weak

Your silhouette glowed silver

'Neath the moon (I could have killed her

For the beauty she put just outside my reach)

When I knew you

When I knew you

Did you know me too

Heavy droplets on my eyelids

As we lay under the sky did

We think that we could hide it from the rain?

Your cheeks in salty fetters

Granted Mother Earth knew better

And soon enough we let her have her way

We parted full and empty

But the courage your arms lent me

And the memory were plenty for me to say

When I loved you

When I loved you

Oh and I know

You would've answered if I'd only asked you

I know

You would've answered if I'd only asked you

When I loved you

When I loved you

Did you love me too
