Nanci Griffith - There's A Light Beyond These Woods lyrics

There's a light beyond these
Woods Mary Margaret
Do you think that we will go there
And see what makes it shine, Mary Margaret
It's almost morning and we've
Talked all night
I know we've made big plans for 10 year olds
You and I

Have you met my new boyfriend Margaret
His name is John and he
Rides my bus to school
And he holds my hand - he's
14 he's my older man
But we'll still be the best of
Friends the three of us margaret, John and I

Let's go to New York City Margaret
We'll hide out in the subways
And drink the poets' wine
Oh, but I had John so you
Went and I stayed behind
But, you were home in time
For the senior prom when we lost John

The fantasies we planned well I
Live without them now
All the dreams we sang when we knew how
Well they haven't changed
There'll never be two friends like you and me
Mary Margaret

It's nice to see your family growing Margaret
Your daughter and your husband here
They really treat you right
But we've talked all night
Oh, what about those lights
That glowed beyond our woods when we were ten
You were the rambler then

The fantasies we planned oh Maggie
I live without them now
All the dreams we sang, we damn sure knew how
But, I'll never change
There'll never be two friends just
Like you and me maggie can't you see?
There's a light beyond your
Woods Mary Margaret
