Calexico - Girl In The Forest lyrics

Well the girl in the forest Reached out to ease my worried mind Stopped me from falling into a downward spiral I was worn by the city until I finally let go Drifted out to the Sierras on an empty road A careless love Won’t get you far I found a book of John Muir’s In an abandoned car Well the world was spinning so fast Nobody took the time It was the girl in the forest Who opened my eyes What part of nature can you honestly say Is beyond your explanations for short term gain Something’s got to change before everything’s Gonna disappear right before our eyes And we finally face ourselves alone in the forest Where so much rides on which path we decide
