She stood across the river still
calling me to come and make the kill
I dove in with hopes no one could fill
and the hunter was drowned

The doe stepped from the forest smiling slight
across the river in the morning light
The hunter felt his heart leap into flight
but the hunter was drowned

She was so beautiful to see
The hunter thought her heart could hold the key
to open up his own and set him free
but the hunter was drowned
and he never was found

The hunter had been searching for so long
The need he had to have her was so strong
A need so strong could really not be wrong
but the hunter was drowned

She stood like marble mixed with mud
calling him to cross the rippling flood
He dove in to find the flood was blood
and the hunter was drowned
and he never was found
