The Way Through The Woods (Long Ver.)
Pet Shop Boys
They shut the road
through the woods
Seventy years ago
Weather and rain have
undone it again
And now you would never know
There was once a road
through the woods
Before they planted the trees
It is underneath
the coppice and heath
And the thin anemones
Only the keeper sees
That where the ring-dove broods
And the badgers roll at ease
There was once a road
through the woods
Yet if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late
When the night-air cools
on the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter
whistles his mate
They fear not men
in the woods
Because they see so few
You will hear the beat
of a horse's feet
And the swish of
a skirt in the dew
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road
through the woods
But there is no road
through the woods
<interlude DF>
They fear not men
in the woods
Because they see so few
They fear not men
in the woods
Because they see so few
Because they see so few
They fear not men in the woods
They fear not men in the woods
