From debut album 'Blue Ruin'
Lyrics
TEARS IN THE FOREST
A whisper on the breeze told me 'You're going down to the woods
To revisit you're youth, play Robin Hood.
All you have to see is the world beneath the leaves
All the browns and greens draped on all those tree's
Moss covered stones and ivy crawling.'
Oooh, all my childhood memories are tears in the forest, cries from the forest.
One foot forward in, sinking slightly into the undergrowth
Hood up on coat, bitten by horseflies
All that I could see was a white crow in a haze of green
Stepping stones across a stream
Do you know what I mean?
Some ones waiting. Some ones calling
Oooh, all my childhood memories are tears in the forest, cries from the forest.
