[Verse 1] The forest kept me all through summer, With my face in the grass and my thoughts far away. And now, as autumn calls me to leave, It mourns that I'm tearing myself from its heart, and it aches. [Chorus] Forest, my wild forest. On every moonlit night, I'll wander slowly, with no destination, Like a leaf carried by the wind, Along your trails. Forest, my wild forest. On every moonlit night, I'll wander slowly, with no destination, Like a leaf carried by the wind, Along your trails. [Verse 2] On every winter night, My pale shadow will come and lie down, Like a mother bear whose cubs were slain, Beneath the shade of the oaks, Stripped bare of their leaves. [Chorus] Forest, my wild forest. On every moonlit night, I'll wander slowly, with no destination, Like a leaf carried by the wind, Along your trails. Forest, my wild forest. On every moonlit night, I'll wander slowly, with no destination, Like a leaf carried by the wind, Along your trails. [Verse 3] Every morning, Sometimes like a shadow, sometimes like the mist, Like a drifting haze or a touch of frost, I'll come, I'll come—don't grieve anymore, My wild forest. [Chorus] Forest, my wild forest. On every moonlit night, I'll wander slowly, with no destination, Like a leaf carried by the wind, Along your trails. Forest, my wild forest. On every moonlit night, I'll wander slowly, with no destination, Like a leaf carried by the wind, Along your trails. [Outro]
