Lyrics

A Forest (Live in London)

[Verse 1]

Come closer and see

See into the trees

Find the girl while you can

Come closer and see

See into the dark

Just follow your eyes

Just follow your eyes

[Verse 2]

I hear her voice

Calling my name

The sound is deep

In the dark

I hear her voice

And start to run

Into the trees

Into the trees

Into the trees

[Verse 3]

Suddenly I stop

But I know it's too late

I'm lost in a forest

All alone

The girl was never there

It's always the same

I'm running towards nothing

Again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again

And again and again and again and again

And again

[Instrumental Outro]
