Did you come through the forest, but miss your way home by the stream?
Says Haggentheladz
When twilight falls, you're lost, and nothing is quite what it seems
The forest trees sigh
Then your feet found the old road, you thought there's a way out of here,
Says Haggentheladz
But it just brought you closer, and you'll thank me later, my dear
And together we cry-

Come in the house where it's warm
Come in from the darkness, the cold and the thunderstorm
Here where the fire burns bright
Isn't it cosy?
Come closer and stay here tonight.

A will-o-the-wisp there, a light for your feet through the mire
Says Haggentheladz
Leading you on through the trees till you falter and tire
The forest trees sigh
Did the briars and brambles and wild roses scratch your sweet face?
Says Haggentheladz
No twisting or turning will help you - it's hard to escape
Together we cry

Come in...

Tattered and torn now, you're lost in the dark and the cold
Says Haggentheladz
Remembering then, the folk tales that your grandmother told
The forest trees sigh
The unknown, the frightening sounds of the night make you quail
Says Haggentheladz
You should have recalled that there's truth in a cautionary tale...
And together we cry

Come in...

Then the sweet smell of woodsmoke surrounds you, and up from despair
Says Haggentheladz
Your spirits revive, and you get up and stumble from there
The forest trees sigh
And just round the corner, my cottage, you see journey's end
Says Haggentheladz
You arrive at my door, and we welcome you like we're old friends
And together we cry

Come in...
