The tall trees all fall down
Scattered seeds on the ground
And one is lost and one is found
Water is moving underground
ย
When I was a young girl
I would sleep in a tall tree
On the down of bending boughs
And from the mount of his shoulders
I would traverse the valleys
Through his dusk and dawning eyes
"I will let you in", said the doe to my arrow
"And you will wear my bones and my skin"
Hunting my dress
Love is ruthless
And in a nest from the forest
I would carry an ember
And with a burning heart, we'd walk
And when he asks me to rest with him
I would lay down my fire
And in that heart, we'd sing and talk
I am a raccoon and you are an owl
And I will run from you in the middle of the night
And we will strike a truce in the billowing tower
And we'll eclipse the moon with a fire light
Hunting my dress
Love is ruthless
You love me in my dreams
It's easier when I'm fast asleep
But I don't want you to come to me anymore
The river bed has married me
But I don't want you to come to me anymore
And out of ashes comes morning
And the rich will love bathing
In the pools at bridal falls
And from the mouth of my lover
I will drink of the river
And kiss his jade and marble walls
You will spill the red from my heart with your arrow
And you will make my bed under the red grass
And I will give my flesh and my blood and my marrow
And you will wear my bones and my skin
Hunting my dress
Love is ruthless
ย
And the tall trees all fell down (Tall trees all fall)
And they scattered seeds on the ground (Scattered the seeds on the ground)
One is lost and one is found (One is lost and one is found)
Water is moving underground (Water is moving underground)
And you're the one who showed to me the sky (You're the one who showed me)
It's so much more than you and I (So much more than you and I)
And darling, I wish I had the time (Darling)
The river is whispering goodbye (The river is whispering goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye (Bye)
What do you think?
Yeah, like that one?
