I found you in the forest And your bed was made of needles You were sleeping In the gloaming and the calm I took you in my arms Oh I laid you on my breast Breathing in your soft sighs and your milky breath And I asked you where you came from And you said you didn't know But you found it didn't matter So I begged you not to go I bathed you in the water And I dried you with the day We are nowhere No one walks this way Will we ever Will we ever learn Will we ever Will we ever learn That all we leave behind us is a pile of dirt beside us Did I make, make a broken man It's too late now to turn it round To make a sign so you'll be found I took you from the forest though you didn't want to go I tried to do my best for you It didn't always show And I rocked you when you cried You raised your eyes to meet mine Said "you have to take me back" I didn't want to do it for you were all I had But the life was draining from you Your heart was getting sad I still go to the forest and I want to call your name The pull of you is endless And I love you just the same Will we ever Will we ever learn Will we ever Will we ever learn That all we leave behind us is a pile of dirt beside us Did I make, make a broken man It's too late now to turn it round To make a sign so you'll be found I'll make a stake and pound it down I'm sorry not to make you proud
