At the Heart of Every Forest lyrics by elm creek rd

When the dog barks at the moon
Does he expect a monsoon?
When the thunder comes rollin’ in
Does he stand his ground to listen?

And when I bark that I love you
Am I supposed to expect you saying it, too?
When melancholy envelopes me
Am I supposed to expect you to give me
What I need?

(‘Cause I don’t expect a thing
You do it anyway, every day
Without me even asking)

The moon barked back while the dog wasn’t listening
But with the flood came the love, almost instantly
And I welcomed it in, let the water glisten
Now I’m aspirating on our aspirations

At the heart of every forest resides
Two critters alike you and I
And I think about them often
They’re likely out there runnin’
While me and you are stuck inside
And it’s hard to counteract the thought:
What if we were both meant for that life?

While I’m sippin’ on lukewarm coffee
I can feel my insides buzzing
The rain hits the roof so calmly
But the thunder breaks the serenity instantly
This storm’s getting harder to weather
But for the foreseeable future, I can’t imagine no place better!
Until I’m holdin’ you close by the holes of your favorite sweater
I can’t imagine no place better!

At the heart of every forest resides
Two critters alike you and I
They huddle up together
So they can withstand the weather
The trees are their only shelter
And it’s likely they will die
One stands and barks at the wind
He isn’t fairly sure that the wind will listen
But he tried, he gave it his life
While the second one stayed curled up
And pined

That second critter is—
That second critter is—
That second critter is—
That second critter is I!
