[Verse 1] Past the last voices, the forest goes on, far into green where the daylight is gone. Rain in the air, water under the ground, wind in the pines with that faraway sound— a sea beyond the sun. And all that distance, all that dark opens wider as I go. Where there is no one. No one. Just you and me. [Verse 2] High in the old trees, the weather rolls through, light coming down in a different kind of blue. Nothing is still, but the whole place is quiet, miles disappearing wherever I turn— and out of the green— white. A flash through the dark and gone. [Chorus] I won’t look for you, I won’t look for you. Go where you go, stay out of sight. I won’t look for you, I won’t look for you. All that distance, all that dark— I know you’re there. [Instrumental passage] [Verse 3] Wind through the pines and the sea rolls again, somewhere above me, somewhere without end. Deep in the green where the old forest falls away, nothing belongs to anyone here. Maybe that’s why I belong. Where there is no one. No one. Just you and me. [Chorus] I won’t look for you, I won’t look for you. Go where you go, stay out of sight. I won’t look for you, I won’t look for you. All that distance, all that dark— I know you’re there. [Outro] Sea beyond the sun. White in the dark. I know you’re there.
