[00:05.60]
[00:09.10]	He’s forgotten the names of trees
[00:14.20]	Familiar faces have no names
[00:18.60]	He’s returned from alien seas
[00:23.70]	To find our father’s house in flames
[00:31.10]
[00:32.70]	He tries to read the signs
[00:36.40]	But they’re in unfamiliar tongues
[00:41.30]	Some half-remembered lines
[00:46.30]	He read when he was young
[00:51.90]
[00:53.00]	But there are days when he recalls
[00:58.70]	The forest in the fall
[01:02.80]	When we can walk together, and he’s fine
[01:12.10]	There are precious days like that
[01:17.80]	When he can name them all
[01:22.00]	The ash, the elm, the beech, the oak, the pine
[01:31.60]
[01:40.60]	He’s forgotten the names of trees
[01:45.70]	His thoughts are like the chattering birds
[01:50.30]	They travel as they please
[01:55.20]	And build their nests of scattered words
[02:01.90]
[02:04.00]	The children stop and smile
[02:08.20]	They offer him their candy bar
[02:13.10]	They sometimes stay a while
[02:17.70]	And remind him of who they are
[02:23.50]
[02:24.20]	But there are days when he recalls
[02:30.30]	The forest in the fall
[02:34.40]	When we can walk together, and he’s fine
[02:43.80]	There are precious days like that
[02:49.30]	When he can name them all
[02:53.50]	The ash, the elm, the beech, the oak, the pine
[03:03.50]
[03:12.10]	He’s forgotten the names of trees
[03:17.20]	He smells the land to his surprise
[03:22.00]	He’s lost in the Hebrides
[03:26.80]	A stranger to our sunny skies
[03:34.70]	He’s forgotten the names of trees...
