Lyrics The Meadow - The National Parks

The Meadow

I want to settle down south in the Spring
Make a bed in the meadow and lay till I dream
Until I dream
I see your white house far from the road
In a place where the forest grows
I stand alone when you come outside
I see your face for the first time
And I knew that I would find
I knew that I would find you my dear
And all the roads that I have walked and walked
And now you’re standing here
And I will never let you go
Well I remember when we ran off young
Your daddy said no but we were in love
And there you stood in the church house dressed in white
Dark braided hair, my beautiful bride
And I knew that I would find
I knew that I would find you my dear
And all the roads that I have walked and walked
And now you’re standing here
And I will never let you go
No I will never let you go!
Well I loved you till I grew old and died
And I woke up in the meadow to my surprise
It was then I knew I could never go back
It was then I knew that you were real in a dream
Let go of your ways… no!
Oooohhhhh oooooohhhhh
And I don’t want to let you go
No I don’t want to let you go
But I will have to let you go
But I will have to let… you go
