Hunting My Dress

And the tall trees all have fell down And they scattered seeds on the ground And one is lost and one is found Water is moving underground 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 inside the door to my arrow And you will wear my bones and my skin Hunting my dress Love is ruthless And in the 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 racoon And you are an owl 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 So 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 have spilled 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 And the tall trees all fell down And they scattered seeds on the ground One is lost and one is found Water is moving underground And you're the one who showed to me the sky It's so much more than you and I And darling I wish I had the time The river is whispering goodbye Bye Bye
