Lyrics: He was in the forest, looking to see the trees But none were there He found a girl She found the Erlking They were in the white wood Gamboling out to picnic In the light, leaves broke above Then fell below I was in the middle ground Looking to find the Flowers in the garden Wearying of the "hate me, hate me not" Wait, they forgot Woe, oh, the rot Deeper in they crept Oblivious of the bears and darker terrors Or none were there How did they dare I was in the middle ground Looking to find the Fountain of infinite mirror Tree falling, no one would hear Shadow of nobody there Murders of murderers living in fear of it Owls on the night watch Solemn and easily wise to what we thought They thought above Sound broke below They were in the black wood Coveting indiscreetly, her for him Or him for her Shown what they were I was in the middle ground Looking to find the Fountain of infinite mirror Tree falling, no one would hear Shadow of nobody there Murders of murderers living in fear of it I was in the clearing Buzzing around to hearing but the Bees and birds who knew the words Soon arrived the twilight Finally the night and day remembered How they came to be All for nothing at all All for nothing at all With something to do I was in the forest, looking to see the trees But none were there
Lyrics:
He was in the forest, looking to see the trees
But none were there
He found a girl
She found the Erlking
They were in the white wood
Gamboling out to picnic
In the light, leaves broke above
Then fell below
I was in the middle ground
Looking to find the
Flowers in the garden
Wearying of the "hate me, hate me not"
Wait, they forgot
Woe, oh, the rot
Deeper in they crept
Oblivious of the bears and darker terrors
Or none were there
How did they dare
I was in the middle ground
Looking to find the
Fountain of infinite mirror
Tree falling, no one would hear
Shadow of nobody there
Murders of murderers living in fear of it
Owls on the night watch
Solemn and easily wise to what we thought
They thought above
Sound broke below
They were in the black wood
Coveting indiscreetly, her for him
Or him for her
Shown what they were
I was in the middle ground
Looking to find the
Fountain of infinite mirror
Tree falling, no one would hear
Shadow of nobody there
Murders of murderers living in fear of it
I was in the clearing
Buzzing around to hearing but the
Bees and birds who knew the words
Soon arrived the twilight
Finally the night and day remembered
How they came to be
All for nothing at all
All for nothing at all
With something to do
I was in the forest, looking to see the trees
But none were there
