Lazy afternoon strolls make for her howls At the trees Going home with trouble written in dirt on Her knees There's nowhere else to be Off into the long grass I want her to drag me away Every single footpath That I ever try and take She'll circumnavigate They pass us by and we're just out of view They don't have a clue They're in ones they're in twos They're in sensible shoes They're in purple cagoules She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water And like no one else could She does the woods Faces made for daylight Ought to be out of the house You'd do the moon and back twice easy Just to kiss half of her mouth She's what it's all about They pass us by and we're just out of view They don't have a clue They're in ones they're in twos They're in sensible shoes They're in purple cagoules She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water And like no one else could She does the woods She does the woods She turns my back to the earth And shows me that's Where I'm meant to be I hear the chirps from the birds As if they heard somebody coming I see her lit from behind Looking down on me In front of a natural tapestry that's like a Spirograph of branches That dance in the breeze She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water She'll jump in the river You'll wish you're the water And like no one else could (She does the woods)
