Underwood
Sit here in the window
Mind drifts into the void
A UNIVERSE CREATED
To explore, one can’t avoid
Underwood, Underwood
Leave the world for Underwood
Leave the world? You know you would
To join the world of Underwood
Timeless and forgiving
The ageless wood still stands
In death the wood is living
No knowledge of urban land
The grey watcher is still watching
In every raindrop, in every leaf
Watching the tree stumps rotting
And eaten in a life given heap
Underwood, Underwood
Leave the world for Underwood
Leave the world? You know you would
To join the world of underwood
Everything is possible
Did you hear it when it fell?
No eyes of human knowledge
On these woods have ever fell
The entrance, gargoyle guarding
The watcher forever froze
Guarding his land from outsiders
On a daring duty held pose
Underwood, Underwood
Leave the world for Underwood
Leave the world? You know you would
To join the world of underwood
Slowly sneaking past the guarder
Free to enter but never leave
The world you dreamt as a child
No sense, just unbound dream
Floating without form
Through the roots and through the ground
Shrunk to the size of an atom
Mingling happily within every sound
Underwood, Underwood
Leave the world for Underwood
Leave the world? You know you would
To join the world of underwood
Sleeping within the earth
Within the life span of a tree
An age which passes out of time
Watching the watcher as the watcher watches me
Feeling the light of the raindrops
Instantly exploring the clouds at it’s birth
Falling through the sky to the treetops
And back to the warm giving earth
Underwood, Underwood
Leave the world for Underwood
Leave the world? You know you would
To join the world of underwood
Feeding the seed that dropped from the tree
Planted in the earths ready womb
Bursting toward the heat giving sun
And reaching back out to the moon
Feeding the seed that dropped from the tree?
Planted in the earths ready womb?
But how does It burst to the heat giving sun?
And what is this shiny bright moon?
Underwood, Underwood
You Left the world for overwood
Leave the world? He knew you would
To join the world of adulthood
Sit here in the window
Mind drifts into the void
A UNIVERSE CREATED
And in a blink it is destroyed
