sarah kirkland snider - the witch كلمات أغنية

i saw the witch out in the woods
as we sang around the fire
stooped and white, curled and dry
a bone enrobed in briar

no one else had seen her there
no one saw her face
which stared at me, fixedly
grim and unafraid

i left them all to sing their songs
by the fire’s dying glow
the woods and field enclosing camp
like hands around a throat

back at home i lay awake
safe behind my door
listening for her muted steps
in the shadowed yard below

and though the time has p-ssed
i still see her in those trees
the world is now those darkened woods
the days her eyes on me

i was so young, had barely lived
but i recognized the fear
was what lay waiting, out of view
in all our older years
