Home From The Forest (从森林回来) - Ronnie Hawkins[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:04]
Oh the neon lights were flashin'[00:00:08]
And the icy wind did blow[00:00:11]
The water seeped into his shoes[00:00:15]
And the drizzle turned to snow[00:00:17]
His eyes were red his hopes were dead[00:00:21]
And the wine was runnin' low[00:00:24]
And the old man came home[00:00:27]
From the forest[00:00:32]
His tears fell on the sidewalk[00:00:36]
As he stumbled in the street[00:00:38]
A dozen faces stopped to stare[00:00:42]
But no one stopped to speak[00:00:44]
For his castle was a hallway[00:00:48]
And the bottle was his friend[00:00:51]
And the old man stumbled in[00:00:54]
From the forest[00:00:59]
Up a dark and dingy staircase[00:01:02]
The old man made his way[00:01:05]
His ragged coat around him[00:01:09]
As upon his cot he lay[00:01:11]
And he wondered how it happened[00:01:15]
That he ended up this way[00:01:17]
Getting lost like a fool[00:01:21]
In the forest[00:01:26]
And as he lay there sleeping[00:01:29]
A vision did appear[00:01:32]
Upon his mantle shining[00:01:36]
A face of one so dear[00:01:38]
Who had loved him in the springtime[00:01:42]
Of a long forgotten year[00:01:45]
When the wildflowers did bloom[00:01:48]
In the forest[00:01:53]
She touched his grizzled fingers[00:01:56]
And she called him by his name[00:01:58]
And then he heard the joyful sound[00:02:03]
Of children at their games[00:02:05]
In an old house on a hillside[00:02:09]
In some forgotten town[00:02:12]
Where the river runs down[00:02:15]
From the forest[00:02:20]
With a mighty roar the big jets soar[00:02:50]
Above the canyon streets[00:02:53]
And the con men con but life goes on[00:02:57]
For the city never sleeps[00:02:59]
And to an old forgotten soldier[00:03:03]
The dawn will come no more[00:03:06]
For the old man has come home[00:03:10]
From the forest[00:03:15]
