In The Woods Somewhere
HOZIER · Hozier 2014 · Track 17 of 17
Our head was warm, My 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 saw new eyes were watching me.
The creature lunged. I turned and ran To save a life I didn't have.
Dear, 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.
