Dan Fogelberg - A Cry in The Forest lyrics

rate me

There's a cry in the forestit's feathered and brown

And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down

It's the sound of a sparrow hittin' the ground

It's the sound of one eternity bound

It's the sound of one eternity bound

There's a cry in the oceansit's plaintive and blue

And it rises from the depthsbreaks my heart in two

It's the dreams of the great whales running aground

For they know that they're eternity bound

For they know that they're eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound

Once they've passed into the timelessthey can never more be found

Is there anybody listeningtell me can you hear the sound

Of the gentle ones eternity bound

Of the gentle ones eternity bound

There's a cry in the heart of every woman and man

We've been crying in the darkness since the world began

Will we ever seek forgivenesswill we ever earn the crown

Or are we in turn eternity bound

Or are we in turn eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound

Once we've past into the timelesswe can never more be found

Is there anybody listeningtell me can you hear the sound

Of the lonely ones eternity bound

Of the lonely ones eternity bound

Of the lonely ones eternity bound
