There's a Light Beyond These Woods (Mary Margaret) Lyrics

There's a Light Beyond These Woods (Mary Margaret)
Nanci Griffith

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
You know we've made big plans for ten-year old...you and I

Have you met my new boyfriend Margaret
His name is John and her rides my bus to school
Oh, he holds my hand he's fourteen...He's my my older man
But we'll still be the best of friends...The three of us
Margaret, John and I.

Hey, let's go to New York City Margaret
We'l hide out in the subways and drink the poet's 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 Oh Maggie I'm living them now
All the dreams we sang when we knew how.  They haven't changed
And there'll never be two friends just like you and me Mary Magaret
It's nice to see your family growing Margaret
You daughter and your husband here they really treat you right
But we've talked all night. 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'm living them now
All the dreams we sang We damn sure knew how
And 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 these woods...Mary Margaret
