Lyrics

The Forest

Why didn't you tell? Why didn't I know Landscapes blurred by rain Mountains covered in snow? Why didn't I see The forest on fire behind in snow? Why didn't I feel? Why didn't you show The cracks under the bridge The gaps along the road? Why didn't I see The forest on fire behind the trees? Why didn't I see The forest on fire behind the trees?
