Deep in the red leaf forest
A hunter with his crossbow
Came upon the secret pool
Where Diana took her hair down
And he saw her perfect body
Shining through the thickets
Such a blinding beauty
He could not say a word
And though he stood there speechless
She felt his eyes upon her
And she turned him to a white stag
And set his dogs upon him
And the dogs didn't know their master
They tore that stag to pieces
Then called and called to him
Who couldn't say a word
But as he lay there bleeding
He smiled up at the sunset
She who took his life from him
Was worth twice the cost
Swirls of deep red leaves
Fell on his perfect body
And he smiled up at the trees
But could not say a word
When the fig tree blooms
When the vine is red with berries
Swallows soon will gather
To steal every drop of sugar
And the world turns in circles
In such wheels of burning beauty
Each morning kills the night
Without a single word
Each morning kills the night
Without a single word
