Story Behind The Song

A fence at the bottom of our garden inspired me to write the song

Song Description

Mystical story

Lyrics

What lies beyond / Mulberry Hawk

If you walk to the end of the garden, there's a fence that determines the edge
And if you sneak a peek at the jungle that creeps and grows out to the creak
just beyond, beware of what lies beyond

There's the old man who told me the stories of tales of old told long ago
Of creatures that fly into mystical skies as they sour over what lies below
So beware of what lies below, so beware of what lies below

And you take your first plunge into legend
As you venture towards the unknown
With tentative steps go ahead with your quest
But look out for the dangers that lurk in the shadows
And entangle themselves in your head

Stories of spookies and eight legged scaries
Ghosties and Ghoulies go bump in the night
Blood curdling rumours of cock and bull stories
Pixies and fairies to lighten the fright
Slithering slimies wriggling and squirming
Bubbling cauldrons filled with squeamish delights
Creatures that creep and crawl out of the deep
And spine chilling screams can be heard from the things
That prowl the ground when you're asleep

And you take your first plunge into legend
As you venture towards the unknown
With tentative steps go ahead with your quest
But look out for the dangers that lurk in the shadows
And entangle themselves in your head

The old man led me back to the garden
To the warmth of the safety of home
And as he took his leave he turned back and said please
Heed the warning I give to you now
Beware of what lies beyond
Oh, beware of what lies beyond
Yes, beware of what lies beyond
Please, beware of what lies beyond
