The Doe Songtext
von Good Lovelies
The Doe Songtext
Late at night I call your name
Over hills and back again
In the places we once lay
Lovers then we′d wander far
Hand in hand you had my heart
You the hunter prince, me the maid
Our love was mad, our love was right
So in the secrecy of night
We bound ourselves for life
But the royal mother wise and wild
Fierce and mad and spitting fire
Vowed I'd never bear your child
Like a bird with no wings
A puppet without its strings
I am lost to you
One evening while you hunted late
Your wicked mother sealed my fate
Never would I sit upon her throne
Oh, but me the prey I was your star
Three thousand days, from afar
Cursed to walk the forest alone
Like a bird with no wings
A puppet without its strings
I am lost to you
Ten years a doe, my life near done
I stepped toward your loaded gun
With a crack fell to the forest floor
On my lips with my last breath
I spoke the words that I knew best
"I love you now and forever more"
Over hills and back again
In the places we once lay
Lovers then we′d wander far
Hand in hand you had my heart
You the hunter prince, me the maid
Our love was mad, our love was right
So in the secrecy of night
We bound ourselves for life
But the royal mother wise and wild
Fierce and mad and spitting fire
Vowed I'd never bear your child
Like a bird with no wings
A puppet without its strings
I am lost to you
One evening while you hunted late
Your wicked mother sealed my fate
Never would I sit upon her throne
Oh, but me the prey I was your star
Three thousand days, from afar
Cursed to walk the forest alone
Like a bird with no wings
A puppet without its strings
I am lost to you
Ten years a doe, my life near done
I stepped toward your loaded gun
With a crack fell to the forest floor
On my lips with my last breath
I spoke the words that I knew best
"I love you now and forever more"
