A warning for a curious girl...
I got lost off the lane
Where the woodlands get dark
And skeleton hands
Hang from bare and twisted branches
Swaying in a sinister dance
They swirl, they swirl
Knotting their shadows over me spiraling
Call me! Call me from the Dark!
Oh I shall find no rest until you come!
Call me! Call me by my name!
That mossy stone
Shall never be my grave!
I just followed their trail
Into their hidden lair
Oh broken heart
Come and play with us -they said
We can gather all your shards -they sung
Join them so you can feel complete
A whole again
All you must do is to decline
The light of sun
Oh catch me! catch me now!
Don't let me fall
Into a world I'll never be
I never really was
Tangle me and lift me in your arms
Shelter me and cloak me
With your gnarled dead boughs
Now that I'm lost
Off the lane
A warning for all curious girls
Led astray
A warning for all curious girls
Led astray
I should have gone through the long way
You should have gone through the long way
No shortcut is safe
