Labyrinth in the Weeds

I went down an old path, all the way back

In the late summer, long grass

You, in the sunset made you a silhouette

Light-leaks and vignettes in a field I cannot forget

I felt it with my bare feet, I felt it in my soles

Running free, running to you, back-lit on the mower

You turn to wave me over

Sunlight in my eyes and a wall of grass on either side

I see you laughing, but all I hear is the engine

You made a maze, but I'm small

And I can only see the walls

And little gnats and bits of grass

Floating upwards in your path

A golden snowfall in reverse

And you made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds

You made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds

My speckled legs collected dew

Just trying to keep up with you

And years after we left that place

I'm older, but I feel the same

Just running through a bigger maze

Catching glimpses of your face

Always turning 'round the bend

In and out of sight again

This new kind of hide-and-seek

Feels more like a tragedy

Grow my soul, grow it tall

I'll see over all these winding walls

Laugh with you from way up there

At a path that don't go anywhere

In all our pointless glory

In our never-ending story

And you made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me

You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me

I went down an old path, all the way back

I went down an old path, all the way back

I went down an old path, all the way back

I went down an old path, all the way back

Grow my soul, grow it tall

Oh, grow my soul, grow it tall

Grow my soul, grow it tall

Oh, grow my soul, grow it tall

I'll see over these winding walls

And laugh with you from way up there

At a path that don't go anywhere

In all our pointless glory

In our never-ending story

And you made a labyrinth in the weeds, a labyrinth in the weeds

You made a labyrinth out of me, a labyrinth out of me
