lyrics

LATE FOR THE WOODS

it's not just the wind
that's taking you in, my friend
it's not just the way
that we make these mistakes again
two feet on the floor
but our spirits they soar til they fade
it's our mess to make
can't you smell the mistakes we all made

like pipers we stroll through the fields
gathering moss til it grows underneath our heels
like pipers we stroll
and we'll never stop when we are told
we're getting too old to be here
no, we'll never learn

one, to the wall
as if nothing at all was the same
what kind of bird
understands all these words they all say
moments of glory
not just some old storybook tale
it's our turn to shine
and we'll piss on the lines and prevail

like pipers we stroll through the fields
gathering moss til it grows underneath our heels
like pipers we stroll
and we'll never stop when we are told
we're getting too old to be here
no, we'll never learn

we'll take to the road
and the hills that erode in sweet time
hammer to nail
like a bird to a whale, we're all fine
dance on the line
take a chance and we'll find it's all good
enough with the wait
we are already late for the woods

like pipers we stroll through the fields
gathering moss til it grows underneath our heels
like pipers we stroll
and we'll never stop when we are told
we're getting too old to be here
now we burn through the best of our years
no, we'll never learn
