The Forest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 the trees?
Why didn’t I feel?
Why didn’t you show me?
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?
