Lyrics

Here's the sad story, about a deer, and a man!

A romantic scene, from a lullaby
In the clearing green, where his eyes met mine
I was froze in motion, oh his bow was raised
Then the fleeting notion, that my life he'd save

[Oh] but I saw it coming, flying through the air
Feathered backside humming. miss' me, hit me where?
Where it will only hurt me, not a mortal wound
Leave me lying dirty, someone would find me soon

I have never, felt like this before
Felt my body sinking, to the grassy floor
No I have never, known a love like this
Felt the flaming arrows, of the hunter's kiss

My life is not mine, like a dog or a wife

He has taken his time, he has taken my life

I could see the steaming, of his cloudy breath
No, I was not dreaming, I was next to death
As I lay there twitching, then my legs he tied
There was nothing missing, on the day I died

I have never, been like this before
Felt my body sinking, to the grassy floor
No I have never, known a love like this
Love the flaming arrows, of the hunter's kiss

No I have never felt like this before
Never felt my body sinking to the earth's grassy floor
Now I know I have never known a love like this
Never felt the flaming arrows of the lonely hunter's kiss
