From The Woods Lyrics - Early In The Morning - James Vincent Mcmorrow

From the woods, from the woods 

They are coming from the woods 

Riding horses cloaked in gray 

Make their way, to my door 

Lay their boots upon my floor 

Wash their hands and start to pray 

But I am gone, I am not there 

I have followed mountain bears 

To a cave of deepest tome 

There I wait, by the mouth 

As the smoke it flushes out 

Then I'll slowly drag one home 

All these things are ever lost 

Stillness has brought my love to cost 

From the woods, from the woods 

Once a vision from the woods 

At a point between two tracks 

Bound by tape, and by wire 

Bruised and beaten in the fire 

So the metals faded black 

Newer ropes, stronger nets 

Have us plumbing further depths 

For the wolves we'll never be 

Should we go, would we die 

If the weight it was to slide 

Drag our secrets to the sea 

All these things are ever lost 

Stillness has brought my love to cost 

I taste the sulfur on my breath 

I see the blood pool on the step 

The moon so thick, the wounds so fresh 

And all is well 

From the woods, from the woods, they are coming 

From the woods 

(Ah)
