INDIGO GIRLS - The Wood Song lyrics

rate me

The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear<br>My friends and I have had a tough time<br>Bruising our brains hard up against change<br>All the old dogs and the magician<br>Now I see we're in the boat in two by twos<br>Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use<br>And the very close quarters are hard to get used to<br>Love weighs the hull down with it's weight<br>But the wood is tired and the wood is old<br>And we'll make it fine if the weather holds<br>But if the weather holds we'll have missed the point<br>That's where I need to go<br><br>No way construction of this tricky plan<br>Was built by other than a greater hand<br>With a love that passes all out understanding<br>Watching closely over the journey<br>Yeah but what it takes to cross the great divide<br>Seems more than all the courage I can muster up inside<br>Although we get to have some answers when we reach the other side<br>The prize is always worth the rocky ride<br>But the wood is tired and the wood is old<br>And we'll make it fine if the weather holds<br>But if the weather holds we'll have missed the point<br>That's where I need to go<br><br>Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look<br>Skip to the final chapter of the book<br>And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took<br>To get us where we are this far yeah<br>But the question drowns in it's futility<br>And even I have got to laugh at me<br>No one gets to miss the storm of what will be<br>Just holding on for the ride<br>The wood is tired and the wood is old<br>We'll make it fine if the weather holds<br>But if the weather holds we'll have missed the point<br>That's where I need to go
