In The Woods Somewhere - Hozier

Her head was warm,

Her skin was soaked.

I called your name 'til the fever broke.

When I awoke

The moon still hung.

The night so black that the darkness hummed

I raised myself.

My legs were weak.

I prayed my mind be good to me.

An awful noise

Filled the air.

I heard a scream in the woods somewhere.

A woman's voice!

I quickly ran

Into the trees with empty hands.

A fox it was,

He shook afraid.

I spoke no words, no sound he made.

His bone exposed,

His hind was lame.

I raised a stone to end his pain.

What caused the wound?

how large the teeth?

I sure knew eyes were watching me.

The creature lunged.

I turned and ran

To save a life I didn't have.

Deer in the chase

There as I flew

Forgot all prayers of joining you.

I clutched my life

And wished it kept.

My dearest love I'm not done yet

How many years

I know I'll bear

I found something in the woods somewhere
