The Wilderness

I took her to the dark wood

And I laid her on the ground

I asked her if this was good

But she did not make a sound

Listen to me, detective, I think you'd better close your file

No, no, no, no, officer, I haven't seen her for a while

Green leaves for her coverlet

Her wreath a daisy chain

I was once her lover, yet

Her reaper I became

Listen to me, relative, I think you'd better learn to smile

No, no, no, no, officer, I haven't seen her for a while

And I have wandered through a wilderness

And I have wandered through a wilderness

And I have wandered

And I'm happy here by myself

Just me and my girl

I'm happy here by myself

And I'm feeling so good tonight

With you by my side

I'm feeling so good tonight
