Lonesome Hunter

What did that bad man put in you?

Did those rotten kids cross a line?

I'm afraid I'll never understand, baby

I'm so sorry you had such a bad time

Well, I have done some truly awful things

And you must be very terrified

Well, you have every reason to be frightened

Since you've been reading my mind

Oh, who am I to deny this moment?

And who am I to even question it?

There is a cross on a mountain, baby

There is a cross glowing over your head

Oh, please break this spell you have me under

Every heart is a lonesome hunter

Please break this spell you have me under

Oh, yes, every heart is a lonesome hunter

Sparrows at your window

Starlings at your door

Magpies wherever we go

Is it blackbirds forevermore?

Well, I'm standing holding my head

And I'm staring through a hole in your head

And I'm moving like a zombie, baby

I am a zombie coming slow to your bed

Well, who am I to deny this moment?

And who am I to even question it?

There is a cross on a mountain, baby

There is a cross glowing over your head

Oh, please break this spell you have me under

Every heart is a lonesome hunter

Please break this spell you have me under

Oh, yes, every heart is a lonesome hunter

Is a lonesome hunter

Is a lonesome hunter

Every heart is a lonesome hunter
