lyrics

In the deep dark woods I ride
Over babbling brooks & mountainsides
Whistling wind
Through my yellow skeleton
Lord I been dead a while

Took a ride one evening late
And I somehow lost my way
Tired and cold
I lay down beside my foal
Til grass had grown
O’er our bones

Heaven I just wanna ride
Through the snow
Let me go

If the reaper with his tattered robe
Comes to claim my wayward soul
Watch me dash
Fast as this old nag can go
He’ll never catch us I know

Heaven I just wanna ride
Through the trees
Set me free
Free to roam
Let me go

Forest deep
In thee I sleep
Body decomposed
Spirit free
To wind and weave
Til Jesus calls me home

In the deep dark woods I ride
