Lyrics
1. I walk down the hall where the woods used to stay
Concrete at my feet, brick walls at every hand
And over my head, steal grinds so strong
Where I first felt the spell of the wood thrushs song.
[Chorus:]
Now the wood thrush is vanished, seeking the place
Thats not felt the crush of mans embrace
Steep woods are gone now, and oh, how I long
To again feel the spell of the wood thrushs song.
2. Over my head, just a few years ago
Proper leaves shivered when the breezes did blow
Now the deep home of vengeance drowns the soft side
Of the wind and the leaves of the few trees nearby.
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Man is the inventor, the builder, the seed
Writer and seeker of truth by the page
But all of his knowledge can never explain
The deep mystery of the wood thrush refrain.
[Chorus]
