There's a deer leaping through the forest as if on fire
Leaving behind a trail like a wake in the water
And it rushes past me like the wind in leaves
And I wish that I could be so free
Reaching out for you
Like a sapling stretching for the sun
Would you still see me in the forest of trees
If I turned and faced the dark?
There's an evening bird calling down to me
Asking why, why, why, why can't I just leave?
And it flitters and flutters away among the trees
And I'm left alone answering "'Cause I'm lonely"
Reaching out for you
Like a sapling stretching for the sun
Would you still see me in the forest of trees
If I turned and faced the dark?
