There’s a Light Beyond These Woods (Remastered) (Live)

There's a light beyond these woods Mary Margaret
Do you think that we will go there?
And see what makes it shine, Mary Margaret
It's almost morning and we've talked all night
I know we've made big plans for ten year olds
You and I

Have you met my new boyfriend Margaret?
His name is John and he rides my bus to school
And he holds my hand, he's fourteen, he's my older man
We'll still be the best of friends the three of us
Margaret, John and I

Let's go to New York City Margaret
We'll hide out in the subways and drink the poets wine
Oh, but I had John, so you went and I stayed behind
But you were home in time for the senior prom
When we lost John

The fantasies we planned, well, I live without them now
All the dreams we sang that we knew about
Well, they haven't changed
There'll never be two friends like you and me
Mary Margaret

It's nice to see your family growing Margaret
Your daughter and your husband they really treat you right
But we've talked all night, oh, what about those nights
That rode beyond our woods when we were ten?
You were the rambler then

The fantasies we planned, oh, Maggie I live without them now
All the dreams we sang, we damn sure knew how
But I'll never change, there'll never be two friends
Just like you and me, Maggie can't you see?
There's a light beyond your woods Mary Margaret
