Edge Of The Woods
lyrics and music by John Kruth

A wooden cross stands alone
Grave at the edge of the woods
Ragged clothes and broken bones
Grave at the edge of the woods

I wandered by a rusty car
Where the weeds grew high
I asked the locals at a bar
Cold silence was their reply

Did he fall from heaven up above?
Grave at the edge of the woods
Did he die in war or die for love?
Grave at the edge of the woods

The ground resembles a jagged scar
Where his skeleton lies
I asked the locals at the bar
Cold silence was their reply

Come let’s raise a glass
To the fading light of summer
Our days on earth soon will pass
And we’ll dream in eternal slumber

Did he die for something that he knew?
Grave at the edge of the woods
Or was it a hobo passing through?
Grave at the edge of the woods
