all my time i spent   the widow said as she bent   giving what meant everything   and all my company   are memories whispering   down by the forest   down by the forest      all the time in the world   is yours, she said as she went   with her thoughts on her dreams   i hardly knew you   yet i packed all i valued   and followed like   dust in the wind      can you give me sanctuary   when the babbling brook   runs dry?   can you give me understanding   when there's nothing left   to try?      what about your brothers   and all you had for lovers?   did they blow away like candles   in the night?   i saw you begging   on the day of the wedding   she don't wander by herself   where are   your sons and your daughters?      can you give me sanctuary   when the babbling brook   runs dry?   can you give me understanding   when there's nothing left   to try?      all my time i spent   the widow said as she bent   giving what meant everything   and all my company are   memories whispering   down by the forest   down by the forest   down by the forest
