Deep In The Woods Lyrics - Singles - Tim O'brien

You and me out in the dark lookin' for shadows 

Saturday night, a little too young to take good care 

A little too wild, a little too old to get lost in the woods 

A gravel road fadin' away back in the darkness 

Two tire tracks, just one thing on my mind 

Makin' me blind, that's holdn' you close, deep in the woods 

Chorus 

Once the stream ran clear down to the river 

Once the tall, tall pines covered the sky 

Your sweet sigh was all it took to cover the silence 

I can't remember any love half as good 

No, nothin' as good as you and me deep in the woods 

I remember the day you moved away back to the city 

Somebody said your daddy's in debt, sellin' his land 

Here comes a man and he's got a plan 

For the place in the woods 

Drivin' around this little town everything changes 

Every day they haul away a little bit more 

You can be sure there's nothin' left of our place in the woods 

Repeat chorus
