Dar Williams - Go To The Woods lyrics

Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling It's the woods! What do you see? In all the spooky shadows, in the forest of green Is there a windy path, angry a** woman who will eat you? Sad-eyed lumberjack, savior who will greet you? It's a different story for you and for me Go to the woods and see Out in the storybook land are many leagues of the wild Wise and uncontainable as a windy-haired child There are the youth truth movements and they're springing from the ground Freak flag wavers and you cannot chop them down Hey, it's the home of the brave, you'll get the threat of the free Go to the woods and see Are you afraid of the woods? Are you afraid of the woods? And if I was your memory, what would you do? 'Cause you know if you go back in time there's something waiting for you You've got your forest path, reading, math, dappling of shade You can just admit it, there's a promise that you made And you can't have the past back, but you can hold me Go to the woods and see I am afraid of the woods I am afraid of the woods But what I fear more, what I fear most More than the man, the beast, or the ghost Is that the woods are disappearing So when I go back, when I finally dare You know the woods'll be gone You know they just won't be there Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling
