Strawbs - Witchwood lyrics

rate me

I dropped down in the witchwood<br />

To see what I could find<br />

The trees had taken time out<br />

To blow away my mind<br />

All that I could hear there<br />

Was the sound of my own voice<br />

But the music it was making<br />

Was nothing of my choice.<br />

<br />

The interwoven branches<br />

Were laden deep with snow<br />

A rainbow shone so softly<br />

To show which way to go<br />

I observed its many colours<br />

Till my eyes were rimmed with frost<br />

I tried hard to trace my footsteps<br />

For I feared I might get lost.<br />

<br />

The witchwood started singing<br />

With a strange unearthly sound<br />

My fingers grew like branches<br />

I stood rooted to the ground<br />

And the spell is still unbroken<br />

I am still her bidden slave<br />

Till a casket from the witchwood<br />

Bears my body to the grave.
