Tim O’Brien - Deep in the Woods Lyrics

You and me out in the dark lookin' for shadows
Saturday night, a little too young to take good care
A little too wild, a little too old to get lost in the woods

A gravel road fadin' away back in the darkness
Two tire tracks, just one thing on my mind
Makin' me blind, that's holdin' you close, deep in the woods

[Chorus]
Once the stream ran clear down to the river
Once the tall, tall pines covered the sky
Your sweet sigh was all it took to cover the silence
I can't remember any love half as good
No, nothin' as good as you and me deep in the woods

I remember the day you moved away back to the city
Somebody said your daddy's in debt, sellin' his land
Here comes a man and he's got a plan
For the place in the woods

Drivin' around this little town everything changes
Every day they haul away a little bit more
You can be sure there's nothin' left of our place in the woods

[Chorus]
