The world is catching up behind you She's soft and fast on your heels The wind picks up her voice and carries it across your ear Asking “Why all this fear?” Your feet try to loose her in the wood You turn your stiff, stubborn neck saying “Keep away. You've brought me only grey You lead my brother's life away And to this day, my mother can't find her way”
The world slowed down for a minute Crying hard for your pains But she knows her role - she's up in haste Find's you quick, your head in your hands Sitting by the old evergreen “You and me and the evergreen He's old and wise, says I am your prize We're sorry for you tears my love But I'm all yours - me and my hard, hard ways”
