Will you take me back to when the woods were young? And i fashioned a cauldron out of a hollow stump And then i threw in a little of this And i threw in a little of that I managed to mumble some mumbo jumbo Before i felt your cold, dead hands And we were face to face I never could forget that day Her eyes were fires burning miles away And her lips were so close i could have stolen a taste Close your eyes Drift off to sleep You'll be one of us Beneath my wing Lost in a dream Kissing the succubus I hope i never have to wake I pray to her my soul to take I beg death for eternal sleep But she won't come back to me Will you take me back to when the woods were mine Where i saw her last and i was left behind I guess she's bored with me I haven't seen her haven't slept in weeks I'm frozen stiff she's blowing kisses in the pines I've been shivering here all night Now would you give me a taste Close your eyes Drift off to sleep You'll be one of us Beneath my wing Lost in a dream Kissing the succubus I hope i never have to wake I pray to her my soul to take I beg death for eternal sleep But she won't come back to me "Now death is not the worst The absence of love is such abject pain" I've been centuries without sleep Loneliness perched on the roof waiting with brooding wing She knows the truth No one's gonna take me back No one's gonna take me back No one's gonna take me back To when the woods were young
