She was a young girl, smart as a whip
Singing everywhere she went and shining like the sun
He was a young boy, he could figure things out
Faithful as a hound dog, as loyal as they come
One day they came into the wood
Chasing rabbits as fast as they could
Saw the other and they both did smile
And they stopped to take a rest for a while
She was a mother, busy with child
Finding her way through a cloudy child haze
He was a father, excited and afraid
Finding his rhythm and finding his way
He was trying to find his way
One day they came into the wood
Chasing children as fast as they could
Saw the other but they could not stay
There was no time for rest those days
She was an old woman, older than the hills
She grew wiser with each passing day
He was an old man, covered in grey
When there was trouble, he had kind words to say
He always knew what to say
The roar of the ocean, the cry of the wind
You can hear her calling to him
