Well I reached in the cupboard for something to feed you And I hoped that these words were enough to keep you But the moon is so high and the stars are so bright You could be the one that I needed When the sun came you hit the trail Like an old cowboy bent for the wild road And so I carved your name into all the tree legs And we waited for you until dark came I once knew a man who told a tale as tall as the mountains that he came from And he said theres a place where all the folks wait When death strips their faces of colour Are you there? My grandpa said that he wandered himself off into the heart of the forest And his colour still sings the engraves of his name And he chases field mice in the moonlight Are you there? (are you there where the good ones go) Are you there? (are you there where the good ones go) Are you there where the go home Can you write me a letter could you visit home You could rest at the foot of my bed And whisper reassurences Cause im not sure of anything Im not sure of anything Just like the dog who lost himself gone on the farm You are living in gardens And the fields are so high the vegetables ripe In the place where the good ones go When they're gone When they're gone
