lyrics

we were lovers in the autumn
dead leaves in your hair
embers dancing with the stars
on the trails of the air
forest oh forest protect me
in your giving arms
lure me into majesty
with your humbling charm

maybe i'm right
i've been wrong many times before
the future seems bright
we're staring straight at a fiery sun

you were just a common stranger
looking for a ride
I was looking for someone
to hide in
came to branching paths in the wood
we broke out in a run
took the one less travelled just for fun
