Leonard Cohen – Hunters Lullaby Lyrics

Read Time:41 Second

Your fathers gone a-hunting
Hes deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child

Your fathers gone a-hunting
In the quicksand and the clay
And a woman cannot follow him
Although she knows the way

Your fathers gone a-hunting
Through the silver and the glass
Where only greed can enter
But spirit, spirit cannot pass

Your fathers gone a-hunting
For the beast hell never bind
And he leaves a baby sleeping
And his blessings all behind

Your fathers gone a-hunting
And hes lost his lucky charm
And hes lost the guardian heart
That keeps the hunter from the harm

Your fathers gone a-hunting
He asked me to say goodbye
And he warned me not to stop him
I wouldnt, I wouldnt even try
