Walk In The Woods Lyrics - Fatima Mansions

A walk in the woods after a storm 

through waves of steam and graveyard gas come overground 

The unwalked path, the dimming light 

Not day or night, just always while life remains on hold 

Everybody's sorry, everybody's sorry 

if words are to be believed 

World without mercy, world which deserts me 

Faces gone, just trunks of trees 

Get it together, get it together-gether, yeah, yeah... 

You can do and say whatever you like 

I can take it, I can listen, but I've only got the one life 

What am I going to do? Every year find another place? 

Get out, get out, get out, get out of my face 

A walk in the woods at the birth of night 

where soft shapes come to fill the glowing space 

And now the book in my hand is closed and sealed 

To wander blind is all this walker needs 

Everybody's sorry, everybody's sorry 

Well, you can keep your form of words 

World with an exit, I'm there and I know it 

It takes me in its arms 

It takes me in its loving arms 

Get it together, get it together-gether, yeah, yeah 

You'll know me by the knives sticking out of my back 

I'm a traitor to my friends and race, a traitor to my class 

Want to see my blood? Well, there won't be long to wait 

Maybe by then you'll get your cover story straight 

A walk in the woods after a storm...
