lyrics

The Hunter

The songbird awoke, let ring from her throat,
Her song filled the air.
In the field by the brook, the hunter mistook,
Thought his lover was there.

So the story goes;
Nobody knows;
Another day unfolds,
With our eyes opened or closed.

The wolf in the glen thought, “Oh, not again,”
For the young man was near.
But the hunter was lost, so deep in his thoughts,
Of his beloved, so dear.

So the story goes;
Nobody knows;
The world goes round the sun,
With our eyes opened or shut.

The girl in the dell thought, “I might as well;
For my hunter’s grown cold.”
From a tree in the grove, she swung from a rope,
As her song filled the air.

So the story goes;
Everybody knows;
Another day unfolds,
As the world is sleeping,
Dreaming underneath the sun.
