Hunter

Followed the trail The hunter proposed me a left Frost covered meadows Coats in their cardinal red I swallowed a beer While a man who was holding a deer made his amends And that's when I realized all this time That I've been living in my head All roads lead to where I started Every sunrise follows darkness Every single mountain has its peak Horse in the stable Of course it was raining out today Thunder and lightning frightened the lone mare away I've adapted to run when it gets tough I disappear Warm blooded and wild I can sense the changes in the air Cedar trees fall in the forest Echoing the cardinal chorus Every moving river has its turn Sandpaper pastures quilted in calico cream You woke from a nightmare Your nightmare woke me up from a dream The stars are your burden The lights and the curtains burned to the ground But now and again I'll put on your movie when no one is around Didn't shoot, but yeah you thought it Kissing clay from Caleb's cartridge Every wild flower comes from dirt Touting the keys to a '73 Chevy truck If I sold everything, bargain with a wink It might be enough The carnival phonies, the clowns and the ponies pour into town I'm not seeking a shelter but I'll be gone for awhile And I don't want to be found
