Woodfall Songtext / Lyric

youth went by on our backs, morals intact
we were never gonna crack
spread-eagled, but never once looking back

when we were young we were chasing the sun
always busy in our quest for fun
but now the race is run

the sun has gone black
and we're chasing the moon like moths to a flame
now that your goal's obscured,
where'd you aim?

running without vision
in all the wrong directions
hitting wall after wall
then turn and run
the tortoise and the hare
now who'll care for you

CHORUS
you were the one who would fall
you were the one who would fall
times have changed, your debt remains, your back's against the wall
you were the one who would fall
taking a short cut home

sometimes we talked about the other world you tried so hard to see
but you never saw the ocean behind all them christmas trees

running without vision
in all the wrong directions
hitting wall after wall
then turn and run

you were the one to lose the race
you were the one to fall from grace
you were the one to lose the race
you were the one to fall from grace

CHORUS
