SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   In Challenge 18, Eluned said "The woods would be silent indeed if only the best birds sang."  Bradypus suggested this quote as a Challenge! idea.  So, what song can you Challenge!rs write with that quote as the premise?

The Woods Are Quiet by GoinDownTheRoadFeelin'Bad

Stand alone in the dark of night
Looking for someone who can't see light
Waiting for a love to find
Passing of the person who drives your mind
Stand and behold as the church bells ring
Even the woods are silent when the best birds sing

I sought darkness that night I left
Sorrow and sadness into my heart crept
Longing for your love to see
Was I alone in misery
From a distance I heard the church bells ring
The woods are quiet when the best birds sing

The bright orange light crept over the hills
As the morning came with arctic chills
The summer's eve had come again
It was time to return to my buried friend
From a distance I heard the church bells ring
The woods are quiet when the best birds sing
