lyrics

There's a forest by the ocean
Lots have gone there, and it seems
No one came back from the place that
Now is known as Woods and Winds
I was thirteen when I went there
Left at night to not be seen
No one stopped me as I headed
To explore the Woods and Winds

When I made it through the forest
And I saw the ocean blue
Salty winds blew all my worries away
I had never felt so new
So I went back to my hometown
Just to tell them what I'd seen
And the way back was much shorter, it seemed,
I felt home at Woods and Winds

When I came back, all the people
Froze in place and stared at me...
I'm a stranger in my hometown
Now I've been through Woods and Winds
So I'm leaving, it's forever
Please forgive me, I have sinned
Left my soul there by the ocean
Now I'm off to Woods and Winds
