lyrics

When I wake at night I listen for your breath
I wrap you from the cold against my breast
I search the dark for peril while you rest
I strain my eyes into the forest depths
Sleep my love I’ll wake you when it’s dawn
The nights are cold but the days are getting long
And with perils new the world of light is fraught
But I’ll be with you there

Stay near, don’t stray too far
That I might keep you free from harm
Heed well, what I taught you
And it might guide you through the storm
It might guide you when I’m gone

The season of the hunter now has come
So listen for the belching of their guns
And keep your nose bent to the forest’s breath
Hone your senses firmly to their stench
They move like ghosts in the pale light of the dawn
They won’t come close their weapons reach so far
No compassion or remorse will move their hearts
For they have none

Stay near, don’t stray too far
That I might keep you free from harm
Heed well, what I taught you
And it might guide you through the storm
It might guide you when they come

But these days of dread won’t last forever
So don’t surrender your heart to despair
There’s beauty in this world beyond all measure
And when the guns are gone this beauty will prevail
And I will show you
I will show you
