Handsome Family
Hunter Green
Last fall I hunted white-tail deermy dog and gun with meI wandered to a shady grovewhere ivy grew dark greenwhere ivy grew dark greenI raised my gun so carefullyand fired into the treesthen saw it was my true love fellin a dress of darkest greena dress of darkest greenher eyes reflected back the moon as I carried her back to my carbut as I crossed the empty roadwas a dead deer in my armsa dead deer in my armsnext night I rowed upon the wavesto catch a leaping fishbut on the hook my lover’s heartI pulled from briny depthsI pulled from briny depthsas I lay her cold corpse downin the bottom of my boatLetras de cancionesit was a jumping fishcaught in my nets and ropecaught in my nets and ropethird night I spied a wild boarcharging madly through the treesbut I raised not my gun to herjust let her come to mejust let her run to meand as I fell in mossy fernsas her teeth grabbed hold of meit was the lips of my true lovethat kissed me dark and greenkissed me dark and green
