The Woods by Dennis Driscoll Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On a trail, through the woods
Maybe she is thinking about me
It's been a while, but I won't run
Let it get to me

[Chorus]
I want to be happy, I'll do what I can
Be true to myself, observing memories
Asking myself questions, thinking about time
There's no place I'd rather be, I chose to be alone

[Verse 2]
But if I was with some people I know, I think I'd feel just as alone
And I know that I'm here in the woods, it's what I want
Is that understood?

[Verse 3]
The woods, there are scary millipedes here
But I love them, and mosquitoes I love them too
No fair-weather friends, no trouble
All I want is what the sky looks like
On cloudless nights, the moon shines brightly
Did you hear me talk?
[Chorus]
I want to be happy, I'll do what I can
Be true to myself, observing many plans
Asking myself questions, thinking about space
There is no place I would rather be
There is no place I would rather be
