We were in the woods It was getting dark You fell asleep on the ground at my side Suddenly awoke And with a shudder croaked Mother won't you let me back inside Little one if I were in your shoes I would take the road less traveled Then again if I were really you Why would I be seeking counsel from me Don't seek counsel from me Triplets pitter patter in pretty patterns Stippling and spattering my empty mind If you clear a path it doesn't matter Where you wind up Who knows what you'll find Myriad are the guiding voices If you take the road less travel But you're the only one Who can make those choices So don't take it from me Why would you take anything from me There is a time And a place in your mind More perfect than this world will ever be You lock the door Don't live there anymore But check both your pockets Maybe you still have the key We built the walls They were strong over all But now the barriers all start to fade away And damn it feels good Something we understood A long time ago but forgot Somewhere on the way
