A Forest (Alternate version, live in Amsterdam 1980) Lyrics
Come closer and see,
See into the trees,
Find the girl,
If you really care,
????,
It's summer again,
Such a long way home,
It's the long way home.
You stop to see,
If I'm watching,
If you can hear, the [hair?] falls all down,
She's oh so [tired?], and pulls the coat around her,
She pulls me in...
She pulls...
Pulls me in...
Her name is different,
And it doesn't really matter any more,
It always leads here,
It's always the same,
I'm doing nothing,
Again and again and again and again...
See into the trees,
Find the girl,
If you really care,
????,
It's summer again,
Such a long way home,
It's the long way home.
If I'm watching,
If you can hear, the [hair?] falls all down,
She's oh so [tired?], and pulls the coat around her,
She pulls me in...
She pulls...
Pulls me in...
And it doesn't really matter any more,
It always leads here,
It's always the same,
I'm doing nothing,
Again and again and again and again...

These were the original lyrics to this song, but Robert decided to change them to what we know as "A Forest."
obviously these aren't the original lyrics. this could have been another instance of a festival where they didn't play til later and robert and the boys had a few pints and he just sang what he felt that day. like he does on forever.
