[Verse 1]

What did that bad man put in you?

Did those rotten kids cross a line?

I'm afraid I'll never understand, baby

I'm so sorry you had such a bad time

Well, I had done some truly awful things

And you must be very terrified

Well, you have every reason to be frightened

Since you've been reading my mind

[Pre-Chorus]

Who am I to deny this moment?

And who am I to even question it?

There is a cross on the mountain, baby

There is a cross flowing over your head

[Chorus]

Please break this spell you have me under

Every heart is a lonesome hunter

Please break this spell you have me under, oh yes

Every heart is a lonesome hunter

[Verse 2]

Sparrows at your window

Starlings at your door

Magpies wherever we go

Is it blackbirds forevermore?

Well, I'm staring at a hole in my hand

And I've been staring at a hole in your head

And I've been feeling like a zombie, baby

I am a zombie coming slow to your bed

Well...

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Is a lonesome hunter

Is a lonesome hunter

Every heart is a lonesome hunter
