Lewis Furey - Hunter's Lullaby lyrics

Judy: Your father's gone a-hunting Into the forest wild He cannot take his wife with him He cannot take his child Your father's gone a-hunting In the quicksand and the clay A woman cannot follow him Although she knows the way Your father's gone a-hunting Through the mirror and the gla** Where only greed can enter But spirit cannot pa** Your father's gone a-hunting For the beast he cannot bind And he's left a baby sleeping And his blessings all behind Your father's gone a-hunting And he's lost my lucky charm And he's lost the guardian heart That keeps the hunter from the harm There's a darkness in the thicket That was not there before And among the tangled undergrowth There is one tangle more Your father's gone a-hunting
