[Intro] . [Chorus] The wild is no longer open And the birds don't sing anymore The old times are slippin' away Snatched away A man can't live free anymore [Verse] The old ways are taken away from me Stolen away from me I'd die to be free But those days are sadly no more [Instrumental] . [Bridge] I mourn for the tree The soil and the sea As I grow blind in the lights of the city [Chorus] The wild is no longer open And the birds don't sing anymore The old times are slippin' away Snatched away A man can't live free anymore [Instrumental] . [Verse] I dream I'll walk the mountain paths again Breathe the mountain air again Hear the bird song fill the woods again Feel my spirit believe again [Bridge] I mourn for the tree The soil and the sea As I grow blind in the lights of the city [Instrumental] . [Verse] It's all been ripped away They buried the old ways And there's nothin' left for an old pagan like me [Outro/Fade Out] The wild is no longer open And the birds don't sing anymore The old times are slippin' away Snatched away A man can't live free anymore
