Way down in the woods
Far from the highways
Away from the moments
Unoticed and gone
Way down in the woods
Touchin' moss so soft
On the deadwood dyin'
In time's fertile arms
Chorus
Thank God for the stars
Each one in the heavens
Thank God where you are
And your travelin' steps
Way down in the woods
I will go for my rest
Way down in the woods
I will go
Way down in the woods
The dogwoods survive
Round the blades of the briars
And virgina pines
Way down in the woods
The ivy lays sleepin'
Patiently waitin'
For sunlight to find
Chorus
Way down in the woods
The wind knows the way
To carry the voices
Sweet angels have made
Way down in the woods
Walkin' close to my heart
Turn loose o' my tongue
And thank God for the stars.
Chorus
