Home From The Forest (从森林回家) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Written by:Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:01]
Oh the neon lights were flashin'[00:00:07]
And the icy wind did blow[00:00:09]
The water seeped into his shoes[00:00:13]
And the drizzle turned to snow[00:00:15]
His eyes were red his hopes were dead[00:00:19]
And the wine was runnin' low[00:00:21]
And the old man came home[00:00:25]
From the forest[00:00:30]
His tears fell on the sidewalk[00:00:33]
As he stumbled in the street[00:00:35]
A dozen faces stopped to stare[00:00:40]
But no one stopped to speak[00:00:42]
For his castle was a hallway[00:00:45]
And the bottle was his friend[00:00:48]
And the old man stumbled in[00:00:51]
From the forest[00:00:56]
Up a dark and dingy staircase[00:01:00]
The old man made his way[00:01:02]
His ragged coat around him[00:01:06]
As upon his cot he lay[00:01:08]
And he wondered how it happened[00:01:12]
That he ended up this way[00:01:14]
Getting lost like a fool[00:01:18]
In the forest[00:01:23]
And as he lay there sleeping[00:01:27]
A vision did appear[00:01:29]
Upon his mantle shining[00:01:33]
A face of one so dear[00:01:35]
Who had loved him in the springtime[00:01:39]
Of a long forgotten year[00:01:41]
When the wildflowers did bloom[00:01:45]
In the forest[00:01:49]
She touched his grizzled fingers[00:01:53]
And she called him by his name[00:01:55]
And then he heard the joyful sound[00:02:00]
Of children at their games[00:02:02]
In an old house on a hillside[00:02:06]
In some forgotten town[00:02:08]
Where the river runs down[00:02:12]
From the forest[00:02:17]
With a mighty roar the big jets soar[00:02:28]
Above the canyon streets[00:02:30]
And the con men con but life goes on[00:02:34]
For the city never sleeps[00:02:36]
And to an old forgotten soldier[00:02:39]
The dawn will come no more[00:02:42]
For the old man has come home[00:02:47]
From the forest[00:02:53]
