Lyrics
I'm tryin' now to talk to you, babe.
The way you smile, the way you walk, it thrills me.
The way you look right through my eyes,
you can see through my disguise.
I have often tried to tell you, and didn't know what to say,
but now's the time to let you see the hunter stalking his prey.
I'll talk to the mirror no more,
there's only one sure way to open the door, babe.
I've got the scent, I'm hot on the trail,
this time now I won't fail.
I will hit you like a heart attack, when you are unaware,
to let you know that I am back and I can take you where... we can...
roll in fields of golden grain, in summer showers of crisp, clean rain.
And stand upon the mountain high and sail along the summer sky.
The slightest hint of ugliness, can be refined into finesse,
as long as we don't tip our hand, we may find the promised land.
Well, take my hand now and walk with me,
I'll take you places you would love to see, babe.
Tell me now 'is the moment right',
my hopes are oh so bright.
I've often wondered, now I know that I can pay the fare.
but when I look into your eyes girl, I'm caught within your snare.
Now you can see what I want you to see,
but did you really listen to me, babe?
Another chase, another flight,
long into the night.
It narrows down to the quests that you have tried within your time,
all the ones when you were just a kid, and when you were in your prime.
True flies the arrow, the hunter sets his sights,
on the prey he's always wanted, the moment is now right.
He bends his bow of courage, and then begins his run.
And they may run forever, beyond the setting sun.
Yes, they may run forever, as long as they can run.
And they may run forever, the bow has now been strung.
