Elderwoods
where will you be when the gavel fallspolishing the statue of the man who built them allhe was a man of vision was a man of gracejust another country boy with empire in his facewent off chasing destiny beyond the pastured gatesthen came a morning when your shadow flippedwoke up alone all alone in your own headscreaming, "oh, there's no escape!"and as the walls come creeping init's hard to find a reason to beginsuddenly it's much too lateand the rain don't fall but the sun don't shineon dear mother's backdoor where she still must do her timejust sits around wondering what she missedvisions of her childhood love who blew off with a kssand went out chasing gravity over the western cliffsthen came a morning when her shadow flippedwoke up alone all alone in her own headscreaming, "oh, there's no escape!"and as the walls come creeping init's hard to find a reason to beginsuddenly it's much too lateLetras de cancionestake me down to the elderwoods my darlingtake me down to the elders everydayhave you found what it was that you were afterhave you found what it was that you had losttake me down to the elderwoods my darlingtake me down to the elders everyday
