Lyrics

[00:00.53] Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling
[00:07.30]
[00:08.70]
[00:09.40] @ @
[00:10.10]
[00:11.57] It's the woods! What do you see?
[00:17.49] In all the spooky shadows, in the forest of green
[00:23.59] Is there a windy path, angry ass woman who will eat you?
[00:27.63] Sad-eyed lumberjack, savior who will greet you?
[00:30.64] It's a different story for you and for me
[00:35.65] Go to the woods and see
[00:41.50]
[00:45.03] Out in the storybook land are many leagues of the wild
[00:51.15] Wise and uncontainable as a windy-haired child
[00:57.52] There are the youth truth movements and they're springing from the ground
[01:01.11] Freak flag wavers and you cannot chop them down
[01:04.34] Hey, it's the home of the brave, you'll get the threat of the free
[01:09.55] Go to the woods and see
[01:15.42]
[01:20.00] Are you afraid of the woods?
[01:23.55] Are you afraid of the woods?
[01:27.08]
[01:30.63] And if I was your memory, what would you do?
[01:37.40] 'Cause you know if you go back in time there's something waiting for you
[01:43.48] You've got your forest path, reading, math, dappling of shade
[01:47.54] You can just admit it, there's a promise that you made
[01:50.56] And you can't have the past back, but you can hold me
[01:55.97] Go to the woods and see
[02:01.56]
[02:05.58] I am afraid of the woods
[02:09.50] I am afraid of the woods
[02:14.35] But what I fear more, what I fear most
[02:17.82] More than the man, the beast, or the ghost
[02:20.90]
[02:21.85] Is that the woods are disappearing
[02:28.51] So when I go back, when I finally dare
[02:30.79] You know the woods'll be gone
[02:32.34] You know they just won't be there
[02:34.16]
[02:35.12] Rambling and rambling, rambling and rambling
[02:44.94]
