Go To The Woods Lyrics - Promised Land - Dar Williams

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 ass 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, 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, go to the woods and see 

Are you afraid of the woods? 

Are you afraid of the woods? 

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, go to the woods and see 

I am afraid of the woods 

I am afraid of the woods 

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 

Rambling and rambling
