Indigo Girls » The Wood Song Lyrics

The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear my friends and I have had a hard
time bruising our brains hard up against change all the old dogs and the
magician now I see we're in the boat in two by twos only the heart that we
have for a tool we could use and the very close quarters are hard to get
used to love weighs the hull down with its weight but the wood is tired and
the wood is old and we'll make it fine if the weather holds but if the weather
holds then we'll have missed the point that's were i need to go no way
construction of this tricky plan was built by other than a greater hand with
a love that passes all our understanding watching closely over the journey
yeah but what it takes to cross the great divide seems more than all
the courage i can muster up inside but we get to have some answers
when we reach the other side the prize is always worth the rocky ride but
the wood is tired and the wood is old and we'll make it fine if the weather
holds but if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point that's where
i need to go sometimes i ask to sneak a closer look skip to the final chapter
of the book and maybe steer us clear from some of the pain that it took
to get us where we are this far but the question drowns in its futility and
even i have got to laugh at me cause no one gets to miss the storm of
what will be just holding on for the ride the wood is tired the wood is old and
we'll make it fine if the weather holds but if the weather holds then we'll
have missed the point that's where i need to go
