Hunter

Come now sister, don't you wait for the sky to clear

I have never seen it rain so truly

Let's find somewhere to sleep

This bus stops sinking like a pier

They can wait 'till morning or a week, or two

I came here not for love but for the possibility

Of setting free the love we knew for all of time

Don't you remember, I said that I would not forget

Your memory is safe with me

And you're heavenly

The strangest things come to me in my sleep

Climb the rolling hills ever so steep

And I don't recognize you, nor you me

But still we know each other so well

I will be the hunter and you can light the fire

Keep it burning until I return

As darkness falls, I'll prove it in time to you

All the way to whaler's cove, the countryside and me

Every little thing still in its place

If it were that I was where I thought that I would be

Surely I would know it in my bones

I came here not for love but for the possibility

Of setting free the love we knew for all of time

Don't you remember, I said that I would not forget

Your memory is safe with me

And you're heavenly

The only thing I know is I'm not sure

Where I left the keys to all the doors

And now that I am here, I don't know why

Everybody looks the same

I will be the hunter, you can light the fire

Keep it burning until I return

As darkness falls, I'll prove it in time to you
