Oh, the Hedges Are High

We're leaving

as the leaves turn again.

Do you see them?

See the green go to red.

cnd the wind blows

through our windows at night.

cnd you wonder

are we doing it right.

Oh, the hedges are high. cnd I can't see the sky

How did you, how did I get here too?

There's a whisper.

It'll turn to a shout,

like a caged beast

that'll soon be let out

Or a freight train

charging down from the heights,

Or a fighter

as the bell starts the fight.

Oh, the hedges are high. cnd we can't see the sky

How did you, how did I, get here too?

If I could turn back the tide

oh my god, I'd try.

If I could wipe the tears from your eyes,

oh my god, I'd try. Oh my god I'd try.

But the hedges are high. cnd we can't see the sky

How did you, how did I get here too?

cnd we're older

Than ever before

cnd our children

They knock down the door

It's a story,

but it's not black and white

cnd I don't know

it the morale is right.

There's an ending,

but it isn't in sight.

Until then

I'll be holding you tight.

Cause the hedges are high. cnd we can't see the sky

How did you, how did I get here too?
