I walk down the hall where the woods used to stand
Concrete at my feet, brick walls at every hand
And over my head, steel girders so strong
Where I first felt the spell of the wood
Thrush's song
Now the wood thrush has vanished
Seeking the place
That's not felt the crush of man's embrace
As deep woods are gone now
And know how I long
To again feel the spell of the wood
Thrush's song
Over my head, just a few years ago
The poplar leaves shivered when the breezes did blow
Now the deep hum of vengeance drowns the soft side
Of the wind in the leaves of the few trees nearby
Now the wood thrush has vanished
Seeking the place
That's not felt the crush of man's embrace
As deep woods are gone now
And know how I long
To again feel the spell of the wood
Thrush's song
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
Man is the inventor
The builder, the sage
The writer and seeker
Of truth by the page
But all of his knowledge
Can never explain
The deep mystery
Of the wood thrush refrain
Now the wood thrush has vanished
Seeking the place
That's not felt the crush of man's embrace
As deep woods are gone now
And know how I long
To again feel the spell of the wood
Thrush's song
guitar solo
Steep woods are gone now and oh how I long
To again feel the spell of the wood thrush's song
