lyrics

you appeared from the edge of the wood
like a black haired, brown skinned doe eyed little girl
right then and there i knew i’d never hurt another
never take aim at another daughter’s mother

the wind moved like a breath between the leaves
and every breath i took hung upon the breeze
like some lost cloud, forgotten and tossed out
vanished in the air and never talked about

if i ever see you again
i’ll be sure to let my courage win
walk up to you, talk softly to you
we can slip away like two caribou
and leave it all behind
disappear into the wilderness
lost amongst the pines and the wild watercress
leave it all behind

not a day goes by
when i don’t think about when you and i
stood toe to toe fifty yards apart
held together by some invisible arc

i can feel you tremble beneath your skin
you didn’t know if you would lose or if you’d win
but i can’t help but grieve every loss
gather up the pieces of everything i’ve tossed

if i ever see you again
i’ll be sure to let my courage win
walk up to you, talk softly to you
we can slip away like two caribou
and leave it all behind
disappear into the wilderness
lost amongst the pines and the wild watercress
leave it all behind

hold me now, hold me tight
this love’s a time travel into the night
a metamorphose, transformed and joyous
we can run away where no one can bother us
leave it all behind
disappear into the wilderness
lost amongst the pines and the wild watercress
leave it all behind
