oh out in the woods

out in the field, it's a hard rains fall


rust on the wheels of my ten speed


and i ride in the lane


in the lane is a wind and it keeps me sane

in my head is a god but i can't speak for it

there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest


that's the trouble with everything


everything always dies and


that's the thing about everything


everything always dies

there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
