Cohen Leonard Hunter`s Lullaby Lyrics

Hunter`s Lullaby Lyrics

Your father's gone a-hunting 

 He's deep in the forest so wild 

 And he cannot take his wife with him 

 He cannot take his child 

 Your father's gone a-hunting 

 In the quicksand and the clay 

 And a woman cannot follow him 

 Although she knows the way 

 

 Your father's gone a-hunting 

 Through the silver and the glass 

 Where only greed can enter 

 But spirit, spirit cannot pass 

 

 Your father's gone a-hunting 

 For the beast we'll never cannot bind 

 And he leaves a baby sleeping 

 And his blessings all behind 

 

 Your father's gone a-hunting 

 And he's lost his lucky charm 

 And he's lost the guardian heart 

 That keeps the hunter from the harm 

 

 Your father's gone a-hunting 

 He asked me to say goodbye 

 And he warned me not to stop him 

 I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try
