george hamilton iv - home from the forest lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, the neon lights were flashin’
and the icy winds did blow
water seeped into his shoes
and the drizzle turned to snow
his eyes were red, his hopes were dead
and the wine was runnin’ low
and the old man came home
from the forest

[verse 2]
his tears fell on the sidewalk
as he stumbled in the street
a dozen faces stopped to stare
but no one stopped to speak
for his castle was a hallway
and thе bottle his only friend
and the old man stumblеd in
from the forest

[verse 3]
up a dark and dingy staircase
the old man made his way
his ragged coat around him
as upon his cot he lay
and he wondered how it happened
that it all turned out this way
gettin’ lost like a fool
in the forest
[verse 4]
and as he lay there sleepin’
a vision did appear
upon his mantle shinin’
the face of one so dear
who loved him in the springtime
of a long+forgotten year
when the wildflowers did bloom
in the forest

[verse 5]
oh, she touched his grizzled fingers
and she called him by his name
then he heard the joyful sound
of children at their games
in an old house on a hillside
in some forgotten town
where the river runs down
from the forest

[verse 6]
with a mighty roar them big jets soar
above the canyon streets
the con men con but life goes on
before the city sleeps
for an old forgotten soldier
the dawn will come no more
for the old man has come home
from the forest
