Fine and fair
An unheard prayer
Sweetest smile
For empty miles
Broken trail
Windblown wail
One red light
Endless night
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
Fine and fair
Born to share
Soft and shy
Caught a hungry eye
Swallows dive
Half moon rise
Shadows spill
Down the hill
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
Cold and sharp
Cut the dark
Sulfur sting
Hiss and sing
Embers climb
Red on pine
Bone-cold breeze
Through witness trees
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
