Statues of the Forest

I walk alone through the forest

There's no one there to stop me

The trees keep on pouring

All their secrets in my pockets

I swear to forever keep them

In my soul and in my spirit

As I went on

And they will walk with me forever

They promise strength, they promise courage

To cross the desert of past oceans

Where you stood at the end with your hand pointing

Far towards the green horizon

Towards new wonders, all pure and nameless

As we went on

As the sun became the guardian

Of the dreams of our lovers

We found marble at the bottom

Of the lake that I grew up by

There were statues in the forest

To remind us of all the beauty

They've all went on

Now we sail slowly backwards

To find the point that finally led us here

We swim in pitch-black water

But with each stroke, a million lights appear

There's no bottom to our sorrows

We filled the lagoon until it flooded

As we searched on
