Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your lantern by the alder tree
Its brass is cold, its wick is dry
I found one glove beneath the leaves
And heard you call, but not nearby
[Pre-Chorus]
The path gives way beneath my boots
The branches comb against my coat
Every bird has folded shut
Still your little whistle floats
[Chorus]
In the deep dark woods, I’m coming for you
Past the split-stone creek and the roots that grew through
If the pines lean low, if the old ground moves
I’ll carry your name through the deep dark woods
[Verse 2]
A red thread caught on a hawthorn thorn
Three fresh marks cut into the bark
The moon is thin as a kitchen knife
And something keeps pace in the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
I taste the iron in the air
I see two sparks beyond the fern
You said the forest knew our names
Tonight I think it knows my turn
[Chorus]
In the deep dark woods, I’m coming for you
Past the split-stone creek and the roots that grew through
If the pines lean low, if the old ground moves
I’ll carry your name through the deep dark woods
[Bridge]
There you are beneath the cedar
Mud on your hands, blood on your sleeve
You say, “Don’t follow where I’ve wandered”
But you’re the only thing I’ll leave
[Final Chorus]
In the deep dark woods, I’m coming for you
Past the split-stone creek where the black water shooed
Let the branches close, let the whole night choose
I’ll carry you home from the deep dark woods
[Outro]
Your lantern burns by the alder tree
And dawn finds both our boots in leaves

Style
Dark cinematic folk-rock with a slow, stalking 6/8 pulse; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and low bowed strings in the verses, muted floor toms entering gradually, then wide distorted guitars and crashing drums for the chorus. Intimate low male vocal, breathy and close in the verses, rising to a rugged urgent delivery in the hook; sparse harmonies, creaking wood and distant wind-like texture, warm organic mix with controlled low end and dramatic section-to-section swells.
