lyrics

The Way Through The Woods (Kipling)


C Cm
THEY shut the road through the woods
C9 G
Seventy years ago.
Am C
Weather and rain have undone it again,
Dm
And now you would never know
G
There was once a road through the woods

Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees

That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.

F C
Yet, if you enter the woods
Dm Em
Of a summer evening late,
Am Em
When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools
Dm G
Where the otter whistles his mate,

(They fear not men in the woods,
Because they see so few.)
You will hear the beat of a horse's feet,
And the swish of a skirt in the dew,

C Dm
Steadily cantering through
C Dm
The misty solitudes,
G F
As though they perfectly knew
C Dm
The old lost road through the woods.

C Cm C9 G
But there is no road through the woods.
