We're leaving
as the leaves turn again.
Do you see them?
See the green go to red.

cnd the wind blows
through our windows at night.
cnd you wonder
are we doing it right.

Oh, the hedges are high. cnd I can't see the sky
How did you, how did I get here too?

There's a whisper.
It'll turn to a shout,
like a caged beast
that'll soon be let out

Or a freight train
charging down from the heights,
Or a fighter
as the bell starts the fight.

Oh, the hedges are high. cnd we can't see the sky
How did you, how did I, get here too?

If I could turn back the tide
oh my god, I'd try.
If I could wipe the tears from your eyes,
oh my god, I'd try. Oh my god I'd try.

But the hedges are high. cnd we can't see the sky
How did you, how did I get here too?

cnd we're older
Than ever before
cnd our children
They knock down the door

It's a story,
but it's not black and white
cnd I don't know
it the morale is right.

There's an ending,
but it isn't in sight.
Until then
I'll be holding you tight.

Cause the hedges are high. cnd we can't see the sky
How did you, how did I get here too?
