Forest Serenade

Outside somewhere the shadows roll

I only know what I am told

So hurry slowly all of you

So hurry slowly through the truth

Our grooves are set in another life

An open trail of falling signs

Uncertainty but all mine

Don’t be the hand that takes

Lulls my forest serenade

Don’t be the hand that pulls

Different aims from different bows

Through mist and sun and gales and showers

No season to where my love begins

But maybe I’m not ready for

But maybe you weren’t ready for

The big wheels trip you up inside

Nothing can trip a changing sign

Uncertainty, but not mine

Don’t be the hand that takes

Lulls my forest serenade

Don’t be the hand that pulls

Different aims from different bows

Don’t be the hand that takes

Lulls my forest serenade

Just let me be there one more time

We’ll go together one last time

There may be other chances, but I

Know darker thoughts seep in and overtake

Don’t be the hand that takes

Lulls my forest serenade

Don’t be the hand that pulls

Different aims from different bows

Don’t be the hand that takes

Lulls my forest serenade

Don’t be the curtain fall

Another cursed gathering ball

Don’t be the hand that takes

Lulls my forest serenade
