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
