Babes in the Wood - Mary Black

Babs in the wood walking thru' snow

Big bad wolf at the window

Not much choice in the matter now

Some must lead some must follow

Touch can mean distance to some people

Touch can mean prison or be like a cage

I always thought that life could be more simple

Specially in this day and age

They got the time they got the need

The world’s getting weird the wolf’s running free

But that’s another story this their story

Babes in the wood eager and keen

Soft as the fern underneath them

Wet to the skin from their own hot glow

No more wolf at the window

Touch can mean distance to some people

Touch can mean I own you forever and a day

If only life could be more simple

Specially in this day and age

But touch can be a blessing to other people

Touch can bring blossom to things that decay

I think life should be that simple

Specially in this day and age
