WORDS TO THE MUSIC
You came looking with your lantern light I was watching long before tonight Forty years of boots on the trail Plaster casts and a tattered tale Cameras strapped to the cedar trees Counting tracks on your hands and knees You whispered my name like a prayer in the dark Never once did you feel me mark Every campfire, I was there Just past the glow in the cold night air Heard every word of your hunter's plan Learned every scent of the hunting man You slept in a tent with a rifle near Never knew I stood right here You found me? Or did I find you? Every step you took, I was stepping too You searched the mountain, you searched the shore I was behind you the whole time and more You found me? Or did I find you? Turn around slow I'm waiting for you The ones who hunted, the ones who strayed The ones who wandered too far one day Search parties calling through the fog Found a boot and a broken log They'll say the forest swallowed them whole But the forest don't have a soul I know your truck and I know your street I know the rhythm of your heartbeat I know the hour you lock your door I know the creak on your kitchen floor You think you left me in the woods last spring But I don't stay where I've been You found me? Or did I find you? Every step you took, I was stepping too You searched the mountain, you searched the shore I was behind you the whole time and more You found me? Or did I find you? Turn around slow I'm waiting for you Hunter, hunter, who's the prey? Who's been following who all day? You set the trap and you baited the line But every trail you made was mine You found me? Or did I find you? Every step you took, I was stepping too You searched the mountain, you searched the shore I was behind you the whole time and more You found me? Or did I find you? Don't turn around I'm right behind you Pack up your cameras, burn your maps Leave the woods and lock your latch Too late
