[00:09.10] | He’s forgotten the names of trees |
[00:14.20] | Familiar faces have no names |
[00:18.60] | He’s returned from alien seas |
[00:23.70] | To find our father’s house in flames |
[00:31.10] | |
[00:32.70] | He tries to read the signs |
[00:36.40] | But they’re in unfamiliar tongues |
[00:41.30] | Some half-remembered lines |
[00:46.30] | He read when he was young |
[00:51.90] | |
[00:53.00] | But there are days when he recalls |
[00:58.70] | The forest in the fall |
[01:02.80] | When we can walk together, and he’s fine |
[01:12.10] | There are precious days like that |
[01:17.80] | When he can name them all |
[01:22.00] | The ash, the elm, the beech, the oak, the pine |
[01:31.60] | |
[01:40.60] | He’s forgotten the names of trees |
[01:45.70] | His thoughts are like the chattering birds |
[01:50.30] | They travel as they please |
[01:55.20] | And build their nests of scattered words |
[02:01.90] | |
[02:04.00] | The children stop and smile |
[02:08.20] | They offer him their candy bar |
[02:13.10] | They sometimes stay a while |
[02:17.70] | And remind him of who they are |
[02:23.50] | |
[02:24.20] | But there are days when he recalls |
[02:30.30] | The forest in the fall |
[02:34.40] | When we can walk together, and he’s fine |
[02:43.80] | There are precious days like that |
[02:49.30] | When he can name them all |
[02:53.50] | The ash, the elm, the beech, the oak, the pine |
[03:03.50] | |
[03:12.10] | He’s forgotten the names of trees |
[03:17.20] | He smells the land to his surprise |
[03:22.00] | He’s lost in the Hebrides |
[03:26.80] | A stranger to our sunny skies |
[03:34.70] | He’s forgotten the names of trees... |
