Claire Lynch - Woods of Sipsey lyrics

rate me

<br />

In the woods of Sipsey<br />

The trees are so tall, an unscalable wall<br />

So high and green<br />

Oh beware in Sipsey<br />

There're snakes on the ground – they move with no sound<br />

If you happen to venture in<br />

<br />

In the woods of Sipsey<br />

No lights after dark, except for the stars<br />

That hang in space<br />

When the air is misty<br />

It hovers the glade with shadow and shade<br />

It's a backward, forsaken place! <br />

<br />

And the mulberry river sings<br />

Where the birds still have room for their wings<br />

They fly... fly... over my home<br />

Down in the woods of Sipsey<br />

<br />

There's a path in Sipsey<br />

That leads to the graves where my ancestors lay<br />

It comforts me<br />

Just to know in Sipsey<br />

A light year from now, in this same hallowed ground<br />

I'll be resting in peaceful sleep<br />

<br />

And the mulberry river will sing<br />

Where the birds still have room for their wings<br />

They'll fly... fly... over my home<br />

Down in the woods of Sipsey
