Mirah - The Forest lyrics
[Mirah - The Forest lyrics]
When we went off away from the forest
We did travel far to get a
Taste of so much more
We dug up the roots of all the stories
Put them in a pot and brought
Them to a fiery roar
We fed on these things without a worry
Never gave a thought to the
Coming of the winter storm
Gone away, gone away, what was yesterday
Make a meal, make a bed, tuck your feet in
And resting elbows twice on a
Table can be nice
But the comforts, they can be deceiving
Now the seasons are not what they once seemed
The berries all are green though the sun
Is at a fine high crest
We lifted our shirts up in a hurry
Reaching for the belly hollow from
The long cold rest we slept off all the fat
But they'll be no more of that
'Cause there must be some
Disease 'neath the canopy
Swinging tails from trees
We can gather we need
Give away what we had a fair share of
And now the forks and
Knives with the sacrifice
With a pair only some can believe in
When we return
We'd find all the leaves have died
Have we all gone away for such a long time
We have a life so sweet and a nut to eat
Now it's all just bones and a
Long way away from home
We did travel far to get a
Taste of so much more
We dug up the roots of all the stories
Put them in a pot and brought
Them to a fiery roar
We fed on these things without a worry
Never gave a thought to the
Coming of the winter storm
Gone away, gone away, what was yesterday
Make a meal, make a bed, tuck your feet in
And resting elbows twice on a
Table can be nice
But the comforts, they can be deceiving
Now the seasons are not what they once seemed
The berries all are green though the sun
Is at a fine high crest
We lifted our shirts up in a hurry
Reaching for the belly hollow from
The long cold rest we slept off all the fat
But they'll be no more of that
'Cause there must be some
Disease 'neath the canopy
Swinging tails from trees
We can gather we need
Give away what we had a fair share of
And now the forks and
Knives with the sacrifice
With a pair only some can believe in
When we return
We'd find all the leaves have died
Have we all gone away for such a long time
We have a life so sweet and a nut to eat
Now it's all just bones and a
Long way away from home
