Down in the Woods - Malcolm Holcombe

Way down in the woods

Far from the highways

Away from the moments

Unoticed and gone

Way down in the woods

Touchin' moss so soft

On the deadwood dyin'

In time’s fertile arms

Thank God for the stars

Each one in the heavens

Thank God where you are

And your travelin' steps

Way down in the woods

I will go for my rest

Way down in the woods

I will go

Way down in the woods

The dogwoods survive

Round the blades of the briars

And virgina pines

Way down in the woods

The ivy lays sleepin'

Patiently waitin'

For sunlight to find

Way down in the woods

The wind knows the way

To carry the voices

Sweet angels have made

Way down in the woods

Walkin' close to my heart

Turn loose o' my tongue

And thank God for the stars
