It lies behind that old locked door
Yeah, it looks like a page out of paradise
Yeah, and I laugh at what will become
Try to lift a man up from his knees
Try to find the forest for the trees
Yeah, the forest for the trees
Let me tell you about a friend
I believe he lived next door to you
And then one day the axe just fell
At the way things would come
Try to pull the man up from his knees
Try to find the forest for the trees
Yeah, the forest for the trees
Yeah, the forest for the trees
Let me tell you all about another time
If the memory is all you lack
as you could never go back
Yeah, and I laugh at what
And a smile, the way things have gone
He tried to find the forest for the trees
Yeah, the forest for the trees
Oh, the forest for the trees
Yeah, the forest for the trees,
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
the forest for the trees.
