Out in the woods, lives our strange old neighbor
Beware, they say, oh, the stories they tell
Don’t take the path leading off to the left
Or you’ll never again be seen on this earth
Be nice, or they might turn you into something
Stay our of their sight, or a curse you’ll be given

Chorus
Stay out of the woods at night
Don’t get yourselves out of our sight
Keep your feet on the way, keep your eyes on home
Don’t go into the woods at night

It’s said that they came here a long time ago
Made no friends, kept themself to themself
Long dark cloak with a deep hood to hide in
They must be something only a mother could love
When a woman went missing ‘twas them got the blame
Even thought some said that she just ran away

Chorus

Bridge
But I have seen them, starry-eyed
High in a tree, starry-eyed
Gardening, gathering, starry-eyed
Singing out a blessing, starry-eyed
Laughing down the thunder, starry-eyed
Shining in splendor, starry-eyed
Covered in  moonlight, starry-eyed
Dancing in the garden, starry-eyed
While the night blooming flowers
release their perfumes to the sky


Walk past the path on the left, by 13 paces
Then turn around, and take the first path on the right
