In the Woods Somewhere

My head was warm, my skin was soaked

I called your name till the fever broke

When I awoke, the moon still hung

The night so black that the darkness hums

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 turn 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 bare

I found something in the woods somewhere
