Hunter's Prayer - Amy Ray

It’s that velvet horned buck

Telling me to measure up

He locks my eyes

And I know just what I’m here for.

Love be swift love be kind

While you’re making up your mind

Yeah I know I don’t deserve it

But I need something to spell me

It’s Friday night everything’s shut down

Cause everyone around here is broke and

tired

Steam is rising from an August storm

It’s like I just got born

So life be honest life be free

While you’re pouring out of me

Or swelling up

Cause I know that I get greedy

And I know this creek is gonna rise

And sometimes it will run dry

Yeah please don’t let me waste it

But please don’t let me drown

Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay

Give me a dog that don’t run away

Give me a love that don’t fade

Oh let me walk in decency

Death be gentle death be proud

But most of all just be allowed

Oh let me pull the knife

Across for mercy’s sake now

And if I just don’t have the guts

Will you come and prop me up

Yeah I know what’s right

Oh but I just can’t seem to do it

Give me a moon to keep my fears at bay

Give me a dog that don’t run away

Give me a love that don’t fade

Oh let me walk in decency
