The Lumberjack's Solace

[Verse] Neil the lumberjack Sweat on his brow Saw blade singin' Woodchips flyin' now From dawn 'til dusk The forest heard His labored breaths Nary a word [Verse 2] Each tree he felled A story to tell Roaring Cracking Where giants once fell The bark and sap would greet his hand In the dance that man and nature planned [Chorus] He fought the tree And the tree won Day fades away with the setting sun But as the moonlight starts to peer He shares his tales with a cold Cold beer [Verse 3] Dog by his side Faithful and true Running through the meadow Skies painted blue They find a spot where the river flows Reflecting dreams that only Neil knows [Verse 4] Campfire flickers Stars overhead On a bed of grass He makes his bed A lullaby of crickets Night's gentle praise Neil's lost in thoughts of simpler days [Chorus] He fought the tree And the tree won Day fades away with the setting sun But as the moonlight starts to peer He shares his tales with a cold Cold beer
