Sad as a Forest

Leaves brush the window
 Trembling and cold
 Are they all thinking
 They're growing old
 I could have been brilliant
 Why couldn't they see?
 I could have been golden
 If the tree trusted me
 Now I cross over
 Over winter's bleak shore
 Is this all there was here?
 Wasn't there more?
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 That's all been cut down
 When I was a young leaf
 I glowed with the green
 The sun gave me kisses
 I was happy to preen
 Summer came hotter
 Hotter and dry
 I waved about lazy
 In the burning blue sky
 What was it all for?
 I helped the tree grow
 I was flawed but perfect
 As anyone known
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 That's all been cut down
 When I cross over
 When I take my flight
 Will anyone see it
 Will it happen at night?
 Will I go with my buddies
 Will I go without tears
 Will I hang on forever
 Or crumble with fears?
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 That's all been cut down
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 I'm sad as a forest
 That's all been cut down
