I walked down the hall were the woods used to standConcrete at my feet brickwalls at every handand over my head steel girders so strongwere I first felt the spell of the Wood thrush's songChorusNow the Wood thrush's has vanishedseeking the place thats not felt the crush of mans embracethe steep woods are gone now and oh How long to again feel the spell of the wood thrushes songOver my head just a few years ago the poplar leaves shivered when the breezes did blow now the deep home of engines drowns the soft sigh of the wind in the leaves in the few trees near byChorusMan is the inventor the builder the sage the writer and seeker of truth by the page but all of his knowledge can never explain the deep mystery of the wood thrush's refrainChorus Aus Songtexte Mania
