Follaton Wood

Oh, you screamed "Hallelujah," darling Startled all the sleeping Starlins on the wire As we walked up the footpath through the fields How the rain did reveal your heart And the rope swing from the balance held the weight Shadows fall and a cold wind blows And you said, "Oh, maybe we're just lost souls here Maybe, oh, everybody goes" Oh, we were young Oh-oh, we were young Oh, we were young Oh-oh, we were young Still don't, don't you forget That rope you tied around your neck Don't free it, darling, no, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, don't free it, darling, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And it took them three days to find you Tired torch lights and dog scents Oh, they led you down from the highest branches Cold eyes and frozen arms And my, my, my, your beauty was so dumbfoundin' Lace white dress and your hair as long as Follaton Woods And the whole town just stood there crying Looking at the darkness for something wholesome and good Oh, good, oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, good, oh-oh-oh-oh Still don't, don't you forget That rope you tied around your neck Don't free it, darling, no, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, don't free it, darling, no-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Morning white mist came in across the plains, blue skies and rain Oh, and it was the strangest day, people taking cover, people holding shame And you would've laughed your heart out Oh, you would've laughed your heart out Oh, you would've laughed your heart out You would've laughed your heart out You would've laughed your heart out
