Lyrics
It's Not the Hunting
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll go gather wood, and what I'll do, I'll do good,
And when I have it in my fingers,
I hope I'll know it wasn't my hunting that led me there.
It was the ice in my hair.
It was the way I saw sunrises.
It was the way I cracked open eyes'.
I'll crack open streams.
I'll heat the water to clean,
And When I have it in my fingers,
I hope I'll know it wasn't my hunting that led me there,
It was the new baby's stare.
It was the way I saw wolves' tracks,
Walked past the air and I walked back.
It was the way I threw spears into snowbanks.
It was the winter's long lying.
