DC Rapier - Wildwood Lyrics

She said, "I think that you should take a walk with me"
She said I'd be surprised at what I'd likely see
So, I let her lead me gently by the hand
And we took a walk across a foreign land
Silver beetles chiming in the Wildwood
Cotton-candy clouds spun ghostly white
A narrow twisted track though Wildwood
That led us on and on...

Dusk had darkened to a gloomy twilight
Shadows cast by moonbeams in our way
The valley disappeared into the twilight
Southern stars wheeled in mute display
Black cicadas chirring in the Wildwood
Night-shade clouds obscured the moon
Her scented presence promised me the Wildwood
As she led us on and on...

We came upon a long, winding stairway
That ascended steeply in the gloom
She turned and held my face in her weathered hands
And kissed me, oh, so sweetly! in the gloom
We wandered widely in the Wildwood
Never looking for escape
Then, she left me in the Wildwood
Where I stumble on and on...
I've wandered blindly in the Wildwood
Always looking for escape
Since she left me in the Wildwood
I've stumbled on and on
I've stumbled on and on
