Leonard Cohen Various Positions Hunter's Lullaby
Your father's gone a-hunting
He's deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child.
He's deep in the forest so wild
And he cannot take his wife with him
He cannot take his child.
Your father's gone a-hunting
In the quicksand and the clay
And a woman cannot follow him
Although she knows the way.
In 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.
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 we'll never cannot bind
And he leaves a baby sleeping
And his blessings all behind.
For the beast we'll never 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 from the harm.
and he's lost his lucky charm
And he's lost the guardian heart
That keeps the hunter from 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.
