I wait till everyone's asleep
|
Then out into the night I creep
|
No one can see me now
|
Or hear me running, soundlessly
|
|
The moon's the only light I need
|
To search for food, young ones to feed
|
But as the dawn is drawing near the earth, my way's not clear
|
I'm trapped on the outside
|
|
Moonlight save me, moonlight save me
|
Moonlight save me, moonlight save me
|
|
Unearthly fear, it grips my skin
|
Unearthly sound, the hunt begins
|
I hear excited cries
|
But dare not look from where I'm hiding
|
|
The multi-coloured humans ride
|
Soon they will find me where I hide
|
The brown and white tormentors
|
Begin to howl and then I'm running
|
|
Moonlight save me
|
|
I cut across the trail I left five miles before
|
One chance to throw them off my scent but I'm not sure
|
An elder told me it had worked sometime before
|
|
My heart is beating like a drum
|
I make the ridge, but can't go on
|
I turn to face my death
|
But nothing comes to stop me breathing
|
|
Down in the clearing now I see
|
They're searching all around for me
|
Confusion everywhere
|
But I am safe up here, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won, I've won
|
