lyrics

The Hunter

Child of the wind, he’s a child of the rain
God of all warriors unties him again
Tempest is rising out over the bay
Thunder of drums in the bed where I lay
Strings of my heart resound to the tune
Of a dark day coming, oh,
A dark day coming so soon

He came at the start of winter
As the storm subsided
And when I held my arms out to the hunter
I was undivided

Out in the open he fights with no fear
Swift as a wolf, strong as a bear
Frost on the hills silvergrey in the moon
There is a dark day coming, oh
A dark day coming so soon

There’s a man that I love, and a man that I know
Heaven forbid I should marry the two
Skywide divide between my blood and my head
I can never be right, I can never forget
The beat of his boots, the heat of the room
There’s a dark day coming, oh
A dark day coming so soon
