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 wildflower 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 a while
And I don't wanna be found
