VERSE
Rail yard lights were flickering
In the fog along the tracks
Old men drinking on the corner
Said the woods were staring back
Something moving by the treeline
Huge and pale against the night
No damn head upon its shoulders
Just a body built to fight
CHORUS
Know I'm staring back at you
But it knows just where you are
There's a thing Grafton woods
And it's breathing in the pines
Every time the fog rolls in
You know it's close behind
VERSE
The paper said it weighed a thousand
Skin like something dragged from hell
Train men swore it crossed the tracks
Where the old cold shadows dwell
Dogs won't bark when night falls heavy
Wind just dies and goes still
Like the mountains holding breath
While it climbs down from the hill
CHORUS
There's a thing in Grafton woods
Heavy footsteps shaking dirt
There's a thing Grafton in the woods
And it walks without a sound
If you hear the branches snap
You better not turn around
BRIDGE
VERSE
Old folks say the woods keep score
And some things crawl out from the cold black floor
CHORUS
And twice as hard to explain
If you see it in the land of light
You won't make it home, my friend
OUTRO
And the fog keeps rolling through the hills
Like it's hiding something big
How would you rate this song?
