Finding Mountains Instead of Forests
Finding Mountains Instead Of Forests
started my journey before i had both a' my eyes open
and found that walkin' alone affords many benefits
jus' too tired a' trying to appease the many gods and goddesses
jus' want t' find my forest and finally sleep
so many times i look to the skyline for support
and only see the jagged jaws of the mountains
seemin' to come in and crash down upon me
jus' wanna find me a gentle forest
in a daze these days and findin' mountains
can't never have my rest
in a daze these days and findin' mountains
but never my forest
so tired of walking the old worn down paths
i take a chance and go through uncharted territory
exhausted without any sleep
jus' want t' find my forest and finally sleep
if only i never woke up to begin with
i would still be sleeping away so peacefully
in a forest of green and gold
y'know i saw rings of smoke in the trees
in a daze these days and findin' mountains
can't never have any rest
in a daze these days and findin' mountains
but never my forest
and maybe the forests have all run dry
or maybe the call of the April sun has me paranoid
when my mind is clouded and i'm
in a daze these days and findin' mountains
can't never have any rest
in a daze these days and findin' mountains
but never my forest
