I hold my breath whenever the deer come
Don’t move the air, don’t wanna scare ‘em
Whether in twilight, whether in dawn
The stag or the mother and her fawn
When I breathe again they are gone
Wish I were younger, wish I were stronger
Wish pain would go quicker and love would last longer
But just when I’m sure nothin’ is true
No one hurts half as much as I do
The trees move, they’re comin’ through
Oh, don’t it make you feel awfully safe and sound?
Yeah, it sure does make me feel like what’s lost could be found
The seeds are in the ground
The sun comes up and down
The deer are all around
We hold our breath whenever the deer come
Winter or spring summer or autumn
Nothin’ so quiet, nothin’ so good
As their eyes at the edge of the wood
We’d follow if we could
Oh, let us disappear for a long warm hour (Let us disappear)
Turn us into moss, turn us into wild flowers
So they won’t know we’re here
And we can just be near the deer being deer
Oh, don’t it make you feel awfully safe and sound?
It sure does make me feel like what’s lost will be found
The seeds are in the ground
The sun comes up and down
The deer are all around
Though they run away, though they never stay
They’ll come another day
We hold our breath
We hold our breath
