《Home from the Forest》歌词

[00:00:00] Home from the Forest - Harlan Howard

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

[00:00:10] Oh the neon lights were flashing and the icy wind did blow

[00:00:16] The water seeped into his shoes and the drizzle turned to snow

[00:00:22] His eyes were red his hopes were dead and the wine was running low

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

[00:00:36] His tears fell on the sidewalk as he stumbled to the street

[00:00:42] A dozen faces stopped to stare but no one stopped to speak

[00:00:47] For his castle was a hallway and the bottle was his friend

[00:00:53] And the old man stumbled in from the forest

[00:01:08] Up a dark and dingy staircase the old man made his way

[00:01:14] His ragged coat around him as upon his cot he lay

[00:01:20] And he wondered how it happened that he'd ended up this way

[00:01:26] Getting lost like a fool in the forest

[00:01:34] And as he lay there sleeping a vision did appear

[00:01:40] Upon his mantle shining the face of one so dear

[00:01:46] Who'd loved him in the springtime of a long forgotten year

[00:01:52] When the wildflowers did bloom in the forest

[00:02:07] She touched his grizzled fingers as she called him by his name

[00:02:13] And then he heard the joyful sound of children at their games

[00:02:19] In an old house on a hillside in some forgotten town

[00:02:25] Where the river runs down from the forest

[00:02:32] With a mighty roar the big jet soars above the canyon streets

[00:02:38] And the con men con but life goes on for the city never sleeps

[00:02:44] But to an old forgotten soldier the dawn will come no more

[00:02:52] For the old man has come home from the forest
