The woods are gone

I took them in my dream to see you
But you were not there at all
You were not there at all
While the birds and the bees
And the stones and the leaves
And the woods are gone
I can see that the woods are gone
I can see that the woods are gone, oh!

Well, the road to your hoes was snowy and white untraveled
I heard the crust unravel
Felt the crust unravel under my feet
And the way you are now, calm as a breeze
And the way you sometimes hit me
Makes me fall on my knees
This is the day that would never come
This is the one we all come from!

I went out to touch that sunrise
But there was no sunlight
There was no sunlight, you see!
All the valleys and creeks, oceans and peaks
All the woods are gone
I can see that the woods are gone
I can see that the woods are gone!

This is the day that would never come
This is the one we all come from!
This is the day that would never come
This is the one we all come from!
