Robert Wyatt - Forest lyrics
rate meDeep in the forest<br />
the omens are bad,<br />
a cloud passes over the moon<br />
<br />
Devil Wind<br />
bends the trees,<br />
a cloud passes over the moon.<br />
<br />
And the moon takes a peep<br />
when the Gypsy girl sings,<br />
and her song rises up<br />
from the dark to the light,<br />
like smoke to the sky,<br />
when the Gypsy girl sings<br />
at the river's edge.<br />
<br />
Deep in the forest<br />
the omens are bad,<br />
a cloud passes over the moon.<br />
<br />
White wolf waits,<br />
grey wolf howls<br />
at the girl by the river's edge.<br />
<br />
The bullet head boys<br />
with their baby blue eyes,<br />
their donner und blitzen,<br />
the lily white gadje<br />
religiously hatching their plots<br />
in the eyries of eagles.<br />
<br />
But the moon's keeping watch<br />
at the Gypsy girl sings,<br />
sees her song rising up<br />
like smoke to the sky<br />
from the dark to the light,<br />
when the Gypsy girl sings<br />
at the river's edge.<br />
<br />
Like the sun on the forest<br />
her song rises up, from<br />
the ashes of Auschwitz,<br />
the death camp at Lety,<br />
the white cliffs of Dover,<br />
the song of the Roma<br />
lives on and on...<br />
<br />
Trees grow tall<br />
though the winds blow cold,<br />
tall trees grow.<br />
<br />
Tall trees grow<br />
where the cold wind blow,<br />
trees grow tall.
<br />
