The Way Through The Woods (Further Listening Bonus Track)

(专辑： Elysium - 2012)

They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago
Weather and rain have undone it again
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees
It is underneath the coppice and heath
And the thin anemones
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods
And the badgers roll at ease
There was once a road through the woods

Yet, if you enter the woods
Of a summer evening late
When the night-air cools
On the trout-ringed pools
Where the otter whistles his mate
(They fear not men in the woods
Because they see so few)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet
And the swish of a skirt in the dew
Steadily cantering through
The misty solitudes
As though they perfectly knew
The old lost road through the woods
But there is no road through the woods
