Alluring are these woods, that I wandered in tonight,
Running from the comfortable life that I had toiled to build
I collected so many things in that big lovely house
That there was no space for air, and no air left to breathe
Breathless I ran from all that I owned and all that I didn’t
Wandering in strange places, looking for some solace
Tonight In these woods filled with tall, lush green trees
I feel a strange sage sweep all over me and noises fade away
Wild wind so invigorating, untangling me from my knots
Nursing my burning wounds and saving me from my thoughts
Eyes which couldn’t sleep for days In warm agreeable beds
Could rest here tonight,could sleep here for days
I wish I could stay and stay forever that way
But there is so much left unfinished turning in to a heap,
Woods are lovely dark and deep but I have promises to keep
And Miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep
