Hunters Lullaby Lyric by Leonard Cohen

Hunters Lullaby Lyric

by Leonard Cohen

Lyric:



Your Father's Gone A-hunting

He's Lost In The Forest So Wild

And He Cannot Take His Wife With Him

He Cannot Take His Child



Your Father's Gone A-hunting

Through The Quicksand And The Clay

And A Woman Cannot Follow Him

Although She Knows The Way



Your Father's Gone A-hunting

Through The Silver And The Glass

Where Only Greed Can Enter

But Spirit, Spirit Cannot Pass



Your Father's Gone A-hunting

For The Beast He Cannot Bind

And He Leaves A Baby Sleeping

And His Blessings All Behind



Your Father's Gone A-hunting

And He's Lost His Lucky Charm

And He's Lost The Guardian Heart

That Keeps The Hunter The Harm



Your Father's Gone A-hunting

He Asked Me To Say Goodbye

And He Warned Me Not To Stop Him

I Wouldn't, I Wouldn't Even Try
