lyrics

WOODEN MAN
I can remember as a boy, climbing the tree in the backyard, scraping my knees on the rugged bark, it’s such a ways from where we are now. Brother remember how we swore things would never change and how this iron world could not break our wooden ways.
Though I was only just a child I was a thoughtful soul, I wished I could be a wooden man in this iron world. So let my hands turn to limbs and my hair to leaves, carry them off on autumn winds, leave me to turn with the seasons, drench me down in springtime rains, dry me up in the warm light and when the winter comes again, I’ll be strong with new life.
Was I better off back then, did those longings fade, when I tried to push ahead, did I lose my way. Cause now those iron arms have got such a hold on me and that wooden heart I sought is pulling further away.
It’s a long, long way, I know it
It’s a long, long way, but I’m going.
