She Does the Woods - The Last Shadow Puppets

Lazy afternoon strolls make for her howls

At the trees

Going home with trouble written in dirt on

Her knees

There's nowhere else to be

Off into the long grass I want her to drag me away

Every single footpath that I ever try and take

She'll circumnavigate

They pass us by and we're just out of view

They don't have a clue

They're in ones they're in twos

They're in sensible shoes

They're in purple cagoules

She'll jump in the river

You'll wish you're the water

And like no one else could

She does the woods

Faces made for daylight

Ought to be out of the house

You'd do the moon and back twice easy

Just to kiss half of her mouth

She's what it's all about

They pass us by and we're just out of view

They don't have a clue

They're in ones they're in twos

They're in sensible shoes

They're in purple cagoules

She'll jump in the river

You'll wish you're the water

And like no one else could

She does the woods

She turns my back to the earth and shows me that's where I'm meant to be

I hear the chirps from the birds as if they heard somebody coming

I see her lit from behind looking down on me

In front of a natural tapestry that's like a

Spirograph of branches that dance on the breeze

She'll jump in the river

You'll wish you're the water

She'll jump in the river

You'll wish you're the water

And like no one else could-

(She does the woods)
