Old Man Luedecke - Sad As A Forest lyrics

Leaves brush the window Trembling and cold Are they all thinking They're growing old I could have been brilliant Why couldn't they see? I could have been golden If the tree trusted me Now I cross over Over winter's bleak shore Is this all there was here? Wasn't there more? I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest That's all been cut down When I was a young leaf I glowed with the green The sun gave me kisses I was happy to preen Summer came hotter Hotter and dry I waved about lazy In the burning blue sky What was it all for? I helped the tree grow I was flawed but perfect As anyone known I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest That's all been cut down When I cross over When I take my flight Will anyone see it Will it happen at night? Will I go with my buddies Will I go without tears Will I hang on forever Or crumble with fears? I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest That's all been cut down I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest I'm sad as a forest That's all been cut down
