[Verse] The path bends slow Where the shadows lie A brook hums low Beneath the sighing sky Leaves whisper secrets Old and untamed The woods know your name They know your name [Chorus] Through the whispering pines They call They call A beauty so deep It’s a lure It’s a thrall Soft is the moss But it hides sharp stones These woods They breathe And you’re not alone [Verse 2] A doe stands still Her eyes dark pools A trick of the light Or nature’s cruel tools? The roots reach out like fingers near The air is sweet But it smells of fear [Prechorus] Do you walk Or do you run? The trees lean close Blotting the sun [Chorus] Through the whispering pines They call They call A beauty so deep It’s a lure It’s a thrall Soft is the moss But it hides sharp stones These woods They breathe And you’re not alone [Bridge] The owls speak in riddles The wind twists a rhyme The clock of the forest forgets about time A trail of footprints But none are your own You’re a guest in a place where the wild has grown
