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.
