Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'How many ships sail in the forest?'

Bob Dylan, from Ballad in Plain D, which has a similar tune:

Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me
"How good, how good does it feel to be free?"
And I answer them most mysteriously
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?"
