Tell Me About The Forest Lyrics - Singles - Dead Can Dance

Farewell now, my sister 

Up ahead there lies your road 

And your conscience walks beside you 

It's the best friend you'll ever know 

And the past is now your future 

It bears witness to your soul 

Make sure that the love you offer up 

Does not fall on barren soil 

For the wind cries of late 

In the whispering grass 

Our way of life is held 

In the spinning wheels of chance 

I believe 

In the way of long ago 

And the sands I believe 

Rose long ago

And we're changing our ways 

Yes, we're taking on different roads 

Tell me more about the forest 

That you once called home 

For the wind cries of late 

In the whispering leaves 

And the sun will turn to waste 

The heavens we built above 

Father, teach your children 

To treat our mother well 

If we give her back her diamonds 

She will offer up her pearl 

We must sing her creation's song 

Show them all 

Invoke the spirits that feed us 

This dreaming takes too long 

Photos 

But I'm not bitter 

No, I'm surviving 

To face the world 

To raise the future 

So why don't you tell me 

Come on and tell me 

About the world you left behind 

Can you tell me?
