lyrics

deep in the woods, there never lived a man
who gave up his children for the sake of his bride,
and they never got lost, so they never got found
by a crooked old woman who tried to cook them in the oven,
while the man and the wife stayed home,
eating lukewarm dinners at the table all alone.
while the man said nothing, the wife prayed, ‘please don’t go.’

and he never forgave her, and she couldn't see why.
while she slept in their bedroom, he would stay up at night
looking for his salvation that wasn’t in sight,
‘cause no one forgives you when you don’t make things right.

and the winter came in cold and fast,
while his last chance at redemption came and passed.
while the man did nothing, the wife thought, ‘this won’t last.’

deep in the woods, there never died a man
with a knife in his chest put there by his own hand,
and he never got lost, so he never got found
by a crooked old woman who had just lost her husband.

and the children came in from the cold,
looking eerily fat, but tired and old.
while the children said nothing, the wife said, “i don’t know.”
