The Distinguished Hunter

The back door, leads down across the woods and to the lake, where years before, as kids we used to play, but no more, laughter echoes outward and what's more, the days all fade away, something more, Must await me I am certain, I've seen this all before, In a dream when I was young

And oh, must have seen a million
Rabbits running round and oh

Sit and watch them as they go
Must be a million people like me out there
Oh, surprised that I haven't found just one

Once again, I find myself pretending
I have been, honest with myself
And then, the canvas of my life starts running thin
And the lights begin to dim, and it's him
The hunter in the night, when things get grim, the triumph of a lion pride

And oh, must have seen a million
People like him out there
Oh, how he's grinning from within
And oh, how I long to be just like him
And oh, what a perfect life to live
And oh, I never dreamed I'd find a clearing up ahead
And the trees fall back instead
And behold... there in shallow water
Is a friend, a prize for hanging in

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, na na na na na na na

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, na na na na na na na
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh
