Light In The Forest

Light in the Forest

Just a broken door in a hollow wind
It swings a lazy time
The bugs fly out, and the bugs fly in
Nobody seems to mind
A tear stained note in a hurried hand
‘Neath a rock upon the table
Says, “I’ve taken all that I can stand,
Gotta go while I’m still able”

Gonna run out in the woods tonight
No trail, no moon, no compass
Just a restless heart on an endless flight
To find that light out in the forest

A faded picture in an old gilt frame
Of a dream two hearts had molded
But nothing ever stays the same
No matter how you try to hold it
Mower rusting in an autumn rain
A token of surrender
Like the love that blossomed when the summer came
But withered next November

Gonna run out in the woods tonight
No trail, no moon, no compass
Just a restless heart on an endless flight
To find that light out in the forest

Print dress dancing on a washing line
Like the wheat before the harvest
Its never what you take, its what you leave behind
That drags you down the hardest
And its just a broken door in a hollow wind
That swings a lazy time
The bugs fly out and the bugs fly in....
