lyrics

THE WOODCUTTER

He tried to say
That she meant nothing at all
Walk down the rivers
And under the bridges
The bells mocked foolishly
Walk down the rivers
And under the bridges
The bells mocked foolishly.

Like dry leaves through scarce memories
She would reach to him through the deep
He believed.

She rides the waves
That whisper up to the shores
Her crescent figure
Through green waters glimmered
The dream glossed estuary.

Like dry leaves through scarce memories
She would reach to him through the deep
He believed.
The woodcutter he stared
Towards the eastern coves.

With eyes to stroke
The torrid wave beaten shores,
From the horizon
Of nowhere she glided
Her oak breast cut the sea
From the horizon
Of nowhere she glided
Her oak breast cut the sea.

Like dry leaves through scarce memories
She would reach to him through the deep
He believed.
The woodcutter he stared
Towards the eastern coves.
