Lyrics

Sun 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.

I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies

And the fireflies and the burning horses

And the flaming tress

As a spiral of children climbs up to the Sun

Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me

As the past pulls away and the future begins

I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in

Like a wave, like a wave

And the past with its savage undertow

Let's go

Come on everyone

Come on everyone

A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun

To the Sun, to the Sun

And on each golden rung

A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun

And a man called Jesus

He promised he would leave us

With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night

But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one

And it isn't any fun

No, it isn't any fun

To be standing here alone with nowhere to be

With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief

And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree

And everybody hanging from a tree

Come on everyone

Come on everyone

A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun

To the Sun, to the Sun

Taking everyone

A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun

There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say

There is nothing more valuable than love

And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees

And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies

And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes

So beautiful

And your bright green eyes

So beautiful

I am here beside you

Look for me in the Sun

I am beside you

I am within

In the sunshine

In the Sun
