lyrics
Oh, deep in the forest of old
There lives a Huntress I'm told,
For I can faintly hear her singing,
Songs sung from the beaks of the birds,
Every colour in her gentle words,
Beckons me to her light.
The trail leads me down to the edge of the woods,
And so I go seeking.
From atop of the tallest tree,
For as far as the eyes can see,
There she lays upon the fell.
With her bow, her bow and her arrow,
She draws sharp and narrow,
And shoots it close within my stride.
T'was then that I knew that the stories were true,
And how I heard her calling.
As the arrow does fly through the night,
The Huntress then lay by my side,
And whispered softly in my ear.
Love will find thee so free my boy,
But for now I must find my joy.
Just hear me calling when I sing.
The call, the call of the country comes,
So she flies with her feather and drum,
For by the lakes her heart does lie.
And I know, I know soon again she'll be gone,
So for now I must sing this song,
And I'll be listening for her calling.
The strangest of dreams occurred in my sleep,
As I wake in the morning.
Breathe, breathe in the open air,
And know that I'll find her there,
In this land and in the sky.
In time, all that will be will be,
And I'll be waiting with my strings and steed,
In other lives I'm sure to live.
So endlessly the light leads me on,
In the song of the siren.
As the arrow did fly through the night,
The Huntress did lay by my side,
And whisper softly in my ear.
Love will find thee so free my boy,
But for now I must find my joy.
Just hear me calling when I sing.
