Childe The Hunter lyrics

Come and listen, brave and tall,The greatest tale I have to tell you,It was a bleak and barren moor.In ancient days he fell.There rode a man of high renownHis name it came as hunter Childe.Every day he chased heath and wasteOn a moor so black and wild. The wind blew in and that hunterFell upon a bed of snow.The night drew in and that thunderStuck him in a steady hole.He looked up high and he begged her"Let me see my lover home".,The moon called out to the hunter"Come into the shadows".He drew a knife from off his back,Upon the ground his horse was lying.He cut a measure, just full sizeTo rest there for the night.With his finger dipped in bloodHe scrabbled words along the stones,"Upon my will, God fulfill,Rest these heavy bones".The wind blew in and that hunterFell upon a bed of snow.The night drew in and that thunderStuck him in a steady hole.He looked up high and he begged her"Let me see my lover home".,The moon called out to the hunter"Come into the shadows". Take a warn
ing when you`re in the wild,Against the skyline, off the high road.For the memory of hunter Childe Should rest you on your way.He was a man of high renown,His name it came, then blew away.Upon his will the moon to steal,In the shadows he will lay.The wind blew in and that hunterFell upon a bed of snow.The night drew in and that thunderStuck him in a steady hole.He looked up high and he begged her"Let me see my lover home".,The moon called out to the hunter"Come into the shadows"
