Harlan Howard - Home From The Forest слова песни
Oh the neon lights were flashing and the icy wind did blowThe water seeped into his shoes and the drizzle turned to snowHis eyes were red his hopes were dead and the wine was running lowAnd the old man came home from the forestHis tears fell on the sidewalk as he stumbled to the streetA dozen faces stopped to stare but no one stopped to speakFor his castle was a hallway and the bottle was his friendAnd the old man stumbled in from the forest[ ac.guitar ]Up a dark and dingy staircase the old man made his wayHis ragged coat around him as upon his cot he layAnd he wondered how it happened that he`d ended up this wayGetting lost like a fool in the forestAnd as he lay there sleeping a vision did appearUpon his mantle shining the face of one so dearWho`d loved him in the springtime of a long forgotten yearWhen the wildflowers did bloom in the forest[ harmonica ]She touched his grizzled fingers as she called him by his nameAnd then he heard the joyful sound of children at their gamesIn an old house on a hillside in some forgotten townWhere the river runs down from the forestWith a mighty roar the big jet soars above the canyon streetsAnd the con men con but life goes on for the city never sleepsBut to an old forgotten soldier the dawn will come no moreFor the old man has come home from the forest
