The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back
He was the guardian of days we held the same
We used to meet by him many years ago, I loved you
Oh Lord how it's empty now with nothing save the breeze, I love you
Beneath the shade he gave shelter from the rain
The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back, back
The way he lightened my life makes me so amazed
The forest and the evergreens are coming to take me back
So slowly as I roll down the track
He was the King of trees keeper of the glades
And if my mind breaks up in all so many ways
And if my body falls inside an early grave
Now they've come to burn the leaves, don't burn the leaves
Please take me back
We used to meet by him far from the hustling town
I know the meaning of the words, I love you
I loved you now they've come to cut you down, down
