Comes the boy, he walks so steady
Comes a girl, she feels so ready
For a stroll,
Deeper in the woods.
(I thought all your dresses were so fine.
This one belongs to my maid, I was afraid I'd meet you again.
What'd you come for then?)
How her eyes they do the pleadin'
And his arm, it does the leadin'
To their goal,
Deeper in the woods.
Oh the music of swollen streams,
And the rushin' of waterfalls,
How the mystery calls them
Deeper in the woods.
(Hey, where are we goin?
We? You're coming with me?)
Up the hills, and down the hollows
How he strides and how she follows
As they stray
Deeper in the woods.
And they come across a clearin',
Past the sound of human hearin',
Where they lay,
Deeper in the woods.
And the whisper of __ caves,
And the tremble of mighty pines
How the smell of it winds them
Deeper in the woods.
Oh the music of swollen streams,
And the rushing of waterfalls,
How the mystery calls them
Deeper in the woods
Comes the boy he walks so steady,
Comes a girls she feels so ready...
(And we stopped, the wild plum trees were like rolling smoke between us and the river
But i broke the branches and the plums rained down on us as I carried her under
And there I robbed her of that which I had left her the day before).
