The Fatima Mansions - Walk in the Woods lyrics

A walk in the woods after a storm

Through waves of steam and graveyard gas come overground

The unwalked paththe dimming light

Not day or nightjust always while life remains on hold

Everybody's sorryeverybody's sorry

If words are to be believed

World without mercyworld which deserts me

Faces gonejust trunks of trees

Get it togetherget it together-getheryeahyeah...

You can do and say whatever you like

I can take itI can listenbut I've only got the one life

What am I going to do? every year find another place?

Get outget outget outget out of my face

A walk in the woods at the birth of night

Where soft shapes come to fill the glowing space

And now the book in my hand is closed and sealed

To wander blind is all this walker needs

Everybody's sorryeverybody's sorry

Wellyou can keep your form of words

World with an exitI'm there and I know it

It takes me in it's arms

It takes me in it's loving arms

Get it togetherget it together-getheryeahyeah

You'll know me by the knives sticking out of my back

I'm a traitor to my friends and racea traitor to my class

Want to see my blood? wellthere won't be long to wait

Maybe by then you'll get your cover story straight

A walk in the woods after a storm...
