The summer sun plays on the ground I feel it in my leaves The sap is rising up my veins There's pollen on the breeze I saw it all crystal clear I know who brought those children here The badgers tried to keep them warm The foxes gave them milk Woodpeckers tried to hammer a home The spiders spun them silk I saw it all crystal clear I know who brought those children here No path out marked out with round white stones No guardian angel to lead them home Find them quick Research before they disappear The bracken folds down into mulch The mushrooms sprout and spore The berries swell and ripe, now burst To carpet my forest floor I saw it all crystal clear I know who brought those children here Lost and lonely, now all is still If you don't take them, the earth surely will Find them quick Research before they disappear The winter wind howls through my bones My brooks begin to freeze My secrets now lie like the dead Beneath the mouldering leaves I saw it all crystal clear I know who left those children here
