CLEARING IN THE FOREST
(Utah Phillips)

Chorus:
We need a clearing in the forest
An island in the sea
Space for loving
A place for you and me

Here come the critics now
The news won't be good
Come along and hurry now
And do the things you should
I can see you dancing by me
Held up by secret strings
Pulled by friends and lovers
Waiting in the wings

Chorus

Aboard the Titanic now
It all looks black or white
If we don't panic now
It'll be all right
But the wireless is broken
The sea is dark and rough
We only have each other
Don't you know that's not enough

Chorus

Down in the magic city now
The ghost of Mammon sings
You can play for plastic feelings
We can play for plastic things
The only difference is the playing
Losing is the same
There's truth in the saying
That the doing is the game

Chorus

Chorus
