He went out searching for something,
just what he couldn't say.
Thought he'd know it once he'd
seen it
somewhere along the way.

His hunger, it was screaming.
His cupboards, they were bare.
An old man soon to be leaving,
living alone without a care.
And
he let her go
straight
from the heart of his land.
Once he had a lover,
and his heart felt oh so good!
But when she left him for
another,
he hid away in these woods.
And
he let her go
straight
from the heart of his land.
So he'd been out here hunting
growing thinner every year
until he came across something
that reduced him to tears.
And
it touched something sacred
deep
in the heart of this man.
She stood there in the open
like some holy Madonna.
Her love had her frozen
between him and her fawn.
And
he let her go
straight
from the heart of his land.
And
though he never knew
he
was always looking to let go.
