Emily Loizeau - Upon a Forest

I heard a story about a bird
Who fell in love under a tree.
The girl he liked lived in a house

In an orchard by the sea.

An everyday they used to kiss
Under the tree, close to the sea,
They made love there, so many times
Their bodies shining on the ground.

Once upon a forest there was a tree
Where you danced with me, my love.
Once upon a forest there was a tree
Where you danced with me.

One day the tide came up so high
It took the lovers by surprise.
The water washed them from the ground
And brought them to the ocean wild.

And from that bed under the tree,
The river ran down to the sea
And in the water a forest grows
Up to the sky where the wind blows

Once upon a forest there was a tree
Where you danced with me, my love.
Once upon a forest there was a tree
Where you danced with me.

Upon the forest was found a soul
Of a bird and a tree
The unsung feather loved to be
With the girl above the sea
