A cry in the forest lyrics

Artist  : Dan fogelberg 
Song : A cry in the forest
 

There`s a cry in the forest, it`s feathered and
brown 
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come
down 
It`s the sound of a sparrow hittin` the ground 
It`s the sound of one eternity bound 
It`s the sound of one eternity bound

There`s a cry in the oceans, it`s plaintive and
blue 
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in
two 
It`s the dreams of the great whales running
aground 
For they know that they`re eternity bound 
For they know that they`re eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound 
Once they`ve passed into the timeless, they can
never more be found 
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear
the sound 
Of the gentle ones eternity bound 
Of the gentle ones eternity bound

There`s a cry in the heart of every woman and man

We`ve been crying in the darkness since the world
began 
Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn
the crown 
Or are we in turn eternity bound 
Or are we in turn eternity bound

Whoa eternity bound 
Once we`ve past into the timeless, we can never
more be found 
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear
the sound 
Of the lonely ones eternity bound 
Of the lonely ones eternity bound 
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
