The Trees Have Eyes
[Verse 1]
I'd been riding hard most of the night, wooded ravines on a mountain side
My horse was getting tired and so was I
Up there the moon was full, down here, darkness ruled
The trees were so much higher than they were meant to be
[Chorus]
In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no, I could feel, feel the trees have eyes
Feel the trees have eyes, the trees have eyes
[Verse 2]
I used to know this road so well, many a time I was here before
But now it seemed so different, the road was no more
I was lost, I stopped and looked around
I had this eerie feeling that I was being watched
[Chorus]
In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no, I could feel, feel the trees have eyes
Feel the trees have eyes, watching me
The trees have eyes, watching me
[Bridge]
Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon
Eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around
[Guitar Solo: Glen Drover]
[Verse 3]
So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones
One wolf grown to a dozen and there I was, alone
Yellow eyes, they were everywhere
Yellow eyes, as I prepared to die
[Verse 4]
Then suddenly, there she was in a halo of light
Then suddenly, there she was, silvery, black and white
The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine
Never, ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast
[Chorus]
In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no, I could feel, feel the trees have eyes
