I wandered through the forest deep
On an island alone with my dreams
Ancient paths led me through the trees
And as I heard the branches speak
With the whispered conspiring of leaves
A melody found me on the breeze
And as the red arbutus watch over the sea
And the waves, I hear them calling out to me
This is where I'll always be
My feet soon left the guiding trail
Following this eerie song
As though it was driving me along
I scrambled down a river bank
Pushing through thick ivy walls
Emerging as night began to fall
The music reached an apex
And rang out in my ears
I looked to find the players
But no one did appear
Rings surround my arching bones
At last, I can perceive
That I am red with peeling bark
And bright arbutus leaves
