In the Woods Somewhere Songtext
von Hozier

My 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

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
