I must tell you the way I must be quick We can not delay Behind the trees On the edge of town Is a river, it is filled with a sparkling blue liquid
You must follow it Follow the stream Be quick but don't go near its edge Stay far upon the banks If it sees you following it, it will hold you beneath it's surface, as you say goodbye to all you knew Run through the trees along the bank but do not be seen
If you continue for long enough you will reach a rambling country lane Leave the stream and follow the lane When the lane forks into five You will only see four The other is in your minds eye Follow that path You may fear it and you may not like it But you must follow it with your eyes shut and You will find the way
You will come to a dip in the road it is here you must open your eyes Any sooner and you will be frozen in time any later and you will be snatched deep into the forest which you must pass through Keep your eyes open and do not blink Along the way are statues they will not help you Do not speak to them
When you come to the hill
