Whispers in the Wood

[Verse 1] In the forest he would wander Under skies so blue and clear Met a dryad by the river Love's sweet sorrow he did fear [Verse 2] Days they danced 'midst trees and shadows Laughing soft in morning light Hearts entwined beneath the willows Dreaming in the moon's soft sight [Chorus] But oh now she's gone Whispers in the wood Where could she be In this haunted wood [Verse 3] He returned with heart so longing To the grove where they had played Found no trace of her belonging Lonely whispers would invade [Verse 4] Through each path and every hollow Called her name where spirits dwell Echoes answered in the meadows Love lost places none can tell [Chorus] But oh now she's gone Whispers in the wood Where could she be In this haunted wood
