Field and Forest

It was over at the field's edge Where field and forest pledged Forevermore their love And to each other to be true Forest, made of massive timber and oak And field with delicate furrows plowed They stared at each other, cowed And for love, neither spoke Finally his hesitant words of love Spoken with the breath of wind Sighing through his boughs of wood Spoken, her broken heart to mend But still, she spoke not, she had no voice Although she knew, had made her choice He was perfect for her in every way Matched her rough edges and stood up straight ... But she had no legs, no feet, no arms All she had were little dirt-clod charms But forest seeing below the surface Down below where only words hurt us Saw her heart made of pure whitest gold It made him sigh, it made him weep We're made for each other He'd say several times a week [Chorus] He was perfect for her in every way Matched her edges and stood up straight ... And Forest's tears like rain started flowing [Chorus] He was perfect for her in every way Matched her edges and stood up straight The day was set, they were to be wed The vows were written, ready to be said Then it was time and they both spoke And their voices like promises, never broke Still they're together, side by side Untold years have passed them by Still in love, still holding hands Still wearing their golden wedding bands [short outro]
