In the Black

I found you in the forest
And your bed was made of needles
You were sleeping
In the gloaming and the calm
I took you in my arms
Oh, I laid you on my breast
Breathing in your soft sighs and your milky breath
And I asked you where you came from
And you said you didn't know
But you found it didn't matter
So I begged you not to go
I bathed you in the water
And I dried you with the day
We are nowhere
No one walks this way
Will we ever
Will we ever learn
Will we ever
Will we ever learn
That all we leave behind us is a pile of dirt beside us
Did I make, make a broken man
It's too late now to turn it round
To make a sign so you'll be found
I took you from the forest though you didn't want to go
I tried to do my best for you
It didn't always show
And I rocked you when you cried
And I hushed you in the black
You raised your eyes to meet mine
Said: You have to take me back
I didn't want to do it for you were all I had
But the life was draining from you
Your heart was getting sad
I still go to the forest and I want to call your name
The pull of you is endless
And I love you just the same
Will we ever
Will we ever learn
Will we ever
Will we ever learn
That all we leave behind us is a pile of dirt beside us
Did I make, make a broken man
It's too late now to turn it round
To make a sign so you'll be found
I'll make a stake and pound it down
I'm sorry not to make you proud
