Lyrics The Witch in the Wood - Postscript

The Witch in the Wood

Last night, I had a dream
Walked a road so dead and haunting
Such a melancholy scene
It was a dilapidated cabin
In the front was a broke down wagon
On a skeleton of a horse who had outran his course
And I try to peer inside
I see the flicker of fire, it’s shining brighter
Painting patterns, perfect silhouettes
And this next part, I will never forget
The front door starts to open and the air is feeling colder
As the Witch, she comes outside
She points into the threshold of the cabin
Says, «It's too cold out here, darling, come inside.»
She says «Come, come, baby, come.»
Come, come, baby, come
Come, come, baby, come
Feel the warmth of the fire."
The road that’s in front of me
Is darker than I can see
And I need a light to shine my way
But the fire’s warm and welcoming
Should I push on through the mud
Or should I take her hand and forever stay?
It was then I saw the moon
And she smiled down upon me and advised what I should do
She said, «Desire is a powerful thing
We all want a way out with no suffering
I know the fire’s call is warm
But if you push on, I know you can make it home.»
Look, I’m familiar with the darkness of that path
And I know that it’s ugly, it’s part of the journey
That we all can have
If you stay in this Witch’s shelter, it may not seem all that bad
But you’ll be doomed in the cabin forever
With a wagon, witch, and dead horse off a path you could have had
The road that’s in front of me
Is darker than I can see
And I need a light to shine my way
But the fire’s warm and welcoming
Should I push on through the mud
Or should I take her hand and forever stay?
