Lyrics

Deep deep in forest night
Children dance the waltz
They laugh
Whispering hand in hand
Just like children like to do

Their eyes what are they looking for
White dress flutters the beat
Their song starting to make some sense
But only if you’re listening

Dance dance like butterflies
Shadows appear right before my eyes
Sounds echo the absurd
Hard to explain something that I heard

Now hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast
Bring the life into the animal you hide
It’s a great illusion one never knows
When you think you’re really alone
Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you

Again see how the children play
Red moon colors the trees
Their feet innocent rustling sounds
Playful dream-like fantasies

Dance dance like butterflies
Shadows appear right before my eyes
Sounds echo the absurd
Hard to explain something that I heard

Now hear the forest talking insects and birds
Does the scent of soil and beast
Bring the life into the animal you hide
It’s a great illusion one never knows
When you think you’re really alone
Feel the eyes of someone looking in on you
