Nanci Griffith - There's A Light Beyond These Woods lyrics

There's a light beyond these woods Mary Margaret Do you think that we will go there And see what makes it shine, Mary Margaret It's almost morning and we've talked all night I know we've made big plans for 10 year olds You and I Have you met my new boyfriend Margaret His name is John and he rides my bus to school And he holds my hand - he's 14 he's my older man We'll still be the best of friends the three of us Margaret, John and I Let's go to New York City Margaret We'll hide out in the subways and drink the poets wine, Oh, but I had John so you went and I stayed behind But you were home in time for the senior prom When we lost John The fantasies we planned well I live without them now, All the dreams we sang that we knew about Well they haven't changed There'll never be two friends like you and me Mary Margaret It's nice to see your family growing Margaret Your daughter and your husband they really treat you right But we've talked all night Oh, what about those nights That rode beyond our woods when we were ten You were the rambler then The fantasies we planned oh Maggie I live without them now All the dreams we sang, we damn sure knew how But I'll never change There'll never be two friends just like you and me Maggie can't you see? There's a light beyond your woods Mary Margaret
