Old Man Luedecke - Sad As A Forest текст песни

Leaves brush the window
Trembling and cold
Are they all thinking
They're growing old

I could have been brilliant
Why couldn't they see?
I could have been golden
If the tree trusted me

Now I cross over
Over winter's bleak shore
Is this all there was here?
Wasn't there more?

I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
That's all been cut down

When I was a young leaf
I glowed with the green
The sun gave me kisses
I was happy to preen
Summer came hotter
Hotter and dry
I waved about lazy
In the burning blue sky

What was it all for?
I helped the tree grow
I was flawed but perfect
As anyone known

I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
That's all been cut down

When I cross over
When I take my flight
Will anyone see it
Will it happen at night?

Will I go with my buddies
Will I go without tears
Will I hang on forever
Or crumble with fears?

I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
That's all been cut down

I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
I'm sad as a forest
That's all been cut down
