Sun Forest
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Intro: #m Verse 1: I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies and the fireflies And the burning horses and the ??flaming trees As a spiral of children climb up to the sun Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me As the past pulls away and the future begins I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in Like a wave like a wave And the past with its savage undertow lets go Bridge Come on everyone come on everyone A spiral of children climbs up to the sun To the sun to the sun and on each golden rung A spiral of children climbs up to the sun Verse 2: And a man called Jesus He promised He would leave us With a word that would light up the night oh the night But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one And it isn’t any fun no it isn’t any fun To be standing here alone with nowhere to be With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief And everybody hanging from a tree from a tree And everybody hanging from a tree Come on everyone come on everyone A spiral of children climbs up to the sun To the sun to the sun taking everyone A spiral of children climbs up to the sun Bridge: (x2) Verse 3: There is nothing more valuable than beauty they say There is nothing more valuable than love And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes so beautiful Oh your bright green eyes so beautiful
