Tønes (Tones) - The Forest Trilogy lyrics
Your rating:
Standing by the forest looking at the trees Some have been there for centuries It’s as dark as night deep inside the trees Silent when the wind is still deep inside the trees Your trees my trees Just wood for your front door And wood for my guitar Ooh the forest I can only dream of when all this land was deep within the forest Where the black crow flies And Leaf The Lucky, Hawkeye, Champlain, Chief Pontiac They all lived to see the forests thrive But now the forest cries If we could only put some trees back Trees for the air we breathe and for the picturesque scenery We need green trees there tomorrow When we’re gone a child will need some air to borrow It’s their turn Air to borrow What makes our air Dad Air…..green trees, trees we don’t have enough of Hey where’s the woods There used to be woods here Who took the forest What did you do to the forest The ice is melting, the climate’s getting hot Bees birds butterflies species disappearing Who cut the forest for the money in the chop Who’s clear cutting the forest Global warming yeh They rock to the forest and they rock to the chop I can t dance this mess about This abomination You and I let’s take the seed won’t be so heavy You and I lets put some in Rock to the forest where the eyes will be looking at you Rock to the forest and you stick the shovel in You walk to the forest and you stick the shovel in They chop chop chop chop green trees they make oxygen I can t dance this mess about this abomination Wood for the fences and the wood for the deck chop chop chop Wood for the matches and you light the cigarette chop chop chop I’m not down on christmas but chopping trees ain’t great What if all those Christmas trees could be making our air sweet You and I we ll take the seed won’t be so heavy oh yeh One by one we’ll put some in everyone can help oh yeh...... You and I in our own backyard we rock to the forest and we stick the shovel in Plant a tree Majestic sticks Who’s ticket twenty , one by six board Kiln dried and dipped in some green preservene Wood for the homee he’s fencing it in But fences like coffins make no oxygen Majestic Sticks tree tops of green in the blue sky There on the hill swaying in the breeze so high I love to see the trees Love trees love trees I love Its cool the air they make’s invisible Majestic trees Trees ……we need every tree, every tree, all the trees Save the trees, save the trees, Save the trees for the air we breathe And the birds that fly in the choking CO2 skies
