EISLEY LYRICS

Title: Lady of the wood

Intro:
I wouldn't care 'cause machines are for the birds, oh
I wouldn't care 'cause machines are for the birds

Every night, we watch the same surprise
And he ripped his wing off of his arm and
He stepped through the blooming door

Scarecrows were walking through the rows to warn him
"Have you seen the missing lady of this wood?"
"Oh, no sir, it's oh-so-sad, she was taken away, taken away."

Moonlight was making his skin 
glow like the fireflies he'd taken
From the tiny scarecrows in a hurry;
he said, "Sir, you'll need these on your journey."

He came upon a wishing well,
keeling forward and he fell
Softly floating down on wings of fireflies
And he saw her lying there, tangles in her hair, in her hair.

Oh, her pretty broken wrist
Was clutched under her fist
Her ankles were all wound
About a silver gown

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
