Way down in the woods Far from the highways Away from the moments Unoticed and gone Way down in the woods Touchin' moss so soft On the deadwood dyin' In time's fertile arms Chorus Thank God for the stars Each one in the heavens Thank God where you are And your travelin' steps Way down in the woods I will go for my rest Way down in the woods I will go Way down in the woods The dogwoods survive Round the blades of the briars And virgina pines Way down in the woods The ivy lays sleepin' Patiently waitin' For sunlight to find Chorus Way down in the woods The wind knows the way To carry the voices Sweet angels have made Way down in the woods Walkin' close to my heart Turn loose o' my tongue And thank God for the stars Chorus Chorus
