[00:00:00] Home From The Forest - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:01] Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:07] Oh the neon lights were flashin'

[00:00:09] And the icy wind did blow

[00:00:13] The water seeped into his shoes

[00:00:15] And the drizzle turned to snow

[00:00:19] His eyes were red his hopes were dead

[00:00:21] And the wine was runnin' low

[00:00:25] And the old man came home

[00:00:30] From the forest

[00:00:33] His tears fell on the sidewalk

[00:00:35] As he stumbled in the street

[00:00:40] A dozen faces stopped to stare

[00:00:42] But no one stopped to speak

[00:00:45] For his castle was a hallway

[00:00:48] And the bottle was his friend

[00:00:51] And the old man stumbled in

[00:00:56] From the forest

[00:01:00] Up a dark and dingy staircase

[00:01:02] The old man made his way

[00:01:06] His ragged coat around him

[00:01:08] As upon his cot he lay

[00:01:12] And he wondered how it happened

[00:01:14] That he ended up this way

[00:01:18] Getting lost like a fool

[00:01:23] In the forest

[00:01:27] And as he lay there sleeping

[00:01:29] A vision did appear

[00:01:33] Upon his mantle shining

[00:01:35] A face of one so dear

[00:01:39] Who had loved him in the springtime

[00:01:41] Of a long forgotten year

[00:01:45] When the wildflowers did bloom

[00:01:49] In the forest

[00:01:53] She touched his grizzled fingers

[00:01:55] And she called him by his name

[00:02:00] And then he heard the joyful sound

[00:02:02] Of children at their games

[00:02:06] In an old house on a hillside

[00:02:08] In some forgotten town

[00:02:12] Where the river runs down

[00:02:17] From the forest

[00:02:28] With a mighty roar the big jets soar

[00:02:30] Above the canyon streets

[00:02:34] And the con men con but life goes on

[00:02:36] For the city never sleeps

[00:02:39] And to an old forgotten soldier

[00:02:42] The dawn will come no more

[00:02:47] For the old man has come home

[00:02:53] From the forest
