Moments in the Woods lyrics

What was that?

Was that me?

Was that him?

Did a prince really kiss me?

And kiss me?

And kiss me?

And did I kiss him back?

Was it wrong?

Am I mad?

Is that all?

Does he miss me?

Was he suddenly

Getting bored with me?

Wake up!

Stop dreaming

Stop prancing about the woods

It's not beseeming

What is it about the woods?

Back to life, back to sense

Back to child, back to husband

No one lives in the woods

There are vows, there are ties

There are needs, there are standards

There are shouldn'ts and shoulds

Why not both instead?

There's the answer, if you're clever

Have a child for warmth

And a baker for bread

And a prince for whatever

Never!

It's these woods

Face the facts, find the boy

Join the group, stop the giant

Just get out of these woods

Was that him?

Yes, it was

Was that me?

No, it wasn't

Just a trick of the woods

Just a moment

One peculiar passing moment

Must it all be either less or more?

Either plain or grand?

Is it always "or?"

Is it never "and?"

That's what woods are for

For those moments in the woods

Oh, if life were made of moments

Even now and then a bad one!

But if life were only moments

Then you'd never know you had one

First a witch, then a child

Then a prince, then a moment

Who can live in the woods?

And to get what you wish

Only just for a moment

These are dangerous woods

Let the moment go

Don't forget it for a moment, though

Just remembering you've had an "and"

When you're back to "or"

Makes the "or" mean more

Than it did before

Now I understand

And it's time to leave the woods
