《Home from the Forest》歌词

[00:00:00] Home From The Forest (从森林回来) - Ronnie Hawkins

[00:00:02] Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:08] Oh the neon lights were flashin'

[00:00:11] And the icy wind did blow

[00:00:15] The water seeped into his shoes

[00:00:17] And the drizzle turned to snow

[00:00:21] His eyes were red his hopes were dead

[00:00:24] And the wine was runnin' low

[00:00:28] And the old man came home

[00:00:33] From the forest

[00:00:36] His tears fell on the sidewalk

[00:00:38] As he stumbled in the street

[00:00:42] A dozen faces stopped to stare

[00:00:45] But no one stopped to speak

[00:00:48] For his castle was a hallway

[00:00:51] And the bottle was his friend

[00:00:54] And the old man stumbled in

[00:00:59] From the forest

[00:01:02] Up a dark and dingy staircase

[00:01:05] The old man made his way

[00:01:09] His ragged coat around him

[00:01:11] As upon his cot he lay

[00:01:15] And he wondered how it happened

[00:01:17] That he ended up this way

[00:01:21] Getting lost like a fool

[00:01:26] In the forest

[00:01:29] And as he lay there sleeping

[00:01:32] A vision did appear

[00:01:36] Upon his mantle shining

[00:01:38] A face of one so dear

[00:01:42] Who had loved him in the springtime

[00:01:45] Of a long forgotten year

[00:01:48] When the wildflowers did bloom

[00:01:53] In the forest

[00:01:56] She touched his grizzled fingers

[00:01:58] And she called him by his name

[00:02:03] And then he heard the joyful sound

[00:02:05] Of children at their games

[00:02:09] In an old house on a hillside

[00:02:12] In some forgotten town

[00:02:15] Where the river runs down

[00:02:20] From the forest

[00:02:50] With a mighty roar the big jets soar

[00:02:53] Above the canyon streets

[00:02:57] And the con men con but life goes on

[00:02:59] For the city never sleeps

[00:03:03] And to an old forgotten soldier

[00:03:06] The dawn will come no more

[00:03:10] For the old man has come home

[00:03:15] From the forest
