Once in a while I feel like a child
And I do not forget to smile
And will you walk into the woods with me?
And will you bend down on your knees?
I made a crown from the forest down
And will you be my queen?

Once in a while I feel like an old man
And I do not wish his cold hand
And will you walk into the woods with me?
And will you bend down on your knees?
I made a crown from the forest down
And will you be my queen?

Once in a while I feel more alive than
The sun that gave birth to me and this sky
And will you walk into the woods with me?
And will you bend down on your knees?
I made a crown from the forest down
And will you be my queen?

Once in a while I feel almost dead
But I will lift up this tired head
And will you walk into the woods with me?
And will you bend down on your knees?
I made a crown from the forest down
And will you be my queen?

I left the water on, too long that I drowned again
And I watched the water roll down from your crown
And I will always have missed that first kiss
And I sometimes wish that I could have died
And you will always fly as high as the towers in the sky
And you who knows whose hand to hold when you cry, where was I?

And I left the oven on, too long that I burned up inside
I watched the fire climb from your neck to your chin to your eyes
And I will always have missed that first kiss
And I sometimes wish that I could have died
And you will always fly as high as the towers in the sky
And you who knows whose hand to hold when you cry, where was I?

And I went for a walk in the woods, I got lost for the rest of my life
And the wolves they follow me, and oh they will eat me alive
And I will always have missed that first kiss
And I sometimes wish that I could have died
And you will always fly as high as the towers in the sky
And you who knows whose hand to hold when you cry, where was I?
