	Story Behind the Song I was walking in the woods and found this falling-down shack that looked a lot like one I'd seen in my dreams. Then I found these Roger McGuinn shades just lying there ... Lyrics I took a little walk last night - In moonlit shadows, hidden from sight Deep in the forest where nothing’s quite as it seems And straying off the beaten track - I came upon an old abandoned shack It looked familiar from so many recurring dreams I just had to investigate - I stepped inside that rusty gate And slipped on in without a sound - And standing in the courtyard there I plucked a diamond from the air - Who am I to hurl it to the ground? But you can change your mind - Leave the world as you found it You’re just wasting time nursing that wounded heart There’ll be one more sign you’ll recognize when you see it You know you’d bee just fine if you’ll just step on up to your mark I heard a voice call from inside that shack sayin’: “This is your home and we want you back “And wonders await you here if you’ll just step on out of the light “There’s no one here to tend to this place. Since you’ve been gone it’s just been laid to waste “Oh won’t you stay here and help make things right?” Chorus I’ve been here so many times before Those rusty hinges swingin’ that door Down my back I can feel their icy breath Up from the ground comes the smell of death This place is haunted and I turn to flee But these zombie’s hands are clutchin’ at me From a window I can see a familiar place I cry: “Release that boy! Let him outta that place!” Oh no you can’t go back to that gutted, burned out shack But you left you footprints there all over the ground And if you keep peerin’ in waitin’ for your journey to begin You know the demons inside will always drag you down Chorus
