Woodfell

Tall and strong were the shades of old
Where the trees twist, bleed and fold
Now the leaves lie on the grave
Of the forest floor
Tall and dark with spectres of light
The trees spoke a word to the night
Now the leaves are silent and grey
Since the day the wood fell
And the men came with axes and flame
(Ha Hee, Ha, Ha Hee, Ha)
And slowly chipped the wood away
(Ha Hee, Ha, Ha Hee, Ha)
And the men came with axes and flame
(Ha Hee, Ha, Ha Hee, Ha)
On the day the wood fell
Wild and soothing on the breeze
We used to hear music from the trees
Now the trees lie silent and still
On their graves
Wild and cool on a Summer's day
We used to lie underneath the shade
Now the trees no longer shelter the floor
Since the day we said
We want more yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
(Ah Oh Ay Ya)
We said more yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
And the men came with axes and flame
(Hee, Ha, Hee, Ha)
And slowly chipped the wood away
And the men came with axes and flame
On the day the wood fell
Now we breathe with baited breath
Absorbing all that is left
While the trees lie ashen and grey
And still
(Still we, still we)
Still chip away every day by light
Regardless of what's wrong or right
While the trees lie dark as the day
We learnt to say
We want more yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
We said more yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oi yo yo yo yo yo yah oh
Oh
Oh oh ay
Oh oh aya aya aya
Oh
(Ha)
