[Intro - soft strings, distant drum] [Verse 1] Hey, beautiful girl, where do you wander, alone in the forest of shadows? Barefoot you walk across the stones, and your hair sings to the wind. Your eyes hold ancient secrets, from rivers that have no shore, your smile is the morning mist, and you vanish like a bird's cry. [Chorus] [strings rising, percussion enters] Hey, hey, hey - girl, wait for me, tell me where you are going. Hey, hey, hey - don't leave me alone among these ancient trees. [Verse 2] She laughs - a ring of silver, rain of stars falls on the leaves. She doesn't know the word "tomorrow", only "now" and "here" and "look". I follow her by the white river, where the fox lies sleeping, but her footsteps fade into the moss - she is wind. She is night. She is a dream. [Chorus] Hey, hey, hey- girl, wait for me, tell me where you are going. Hey, hey, hey - don't leave me alone among these ancient trees. [Bridge - voice only and a single string] Maybe she is the forest itself, maybe I am the one who is lost. Maybe every search is a gift and finding is only the beginning. [Final Chorus - all instruments, crescendo] Hey, hey, hey beautiful girl, I know now you are not from here. Hey, hey, hey but I will follow you to the edge of the forest and beyond... [Outro - percussion fades, a single string remains] [fade out] [end]
