The bend of the tree and the hiss of the wind The rattle and hum of a blackened gun What the birds see in the buffeting breeze Child, the wild hunt has begun The curse of the cold and the freezing limb We'll never see the like of this again These solid bodies and the silent still Child, the wild hunt here to kill Oh! My bones divide and shake! And I'm lost to the wind and the darkened day Silent prayers on a tossing sea Is there any hope for me? In the mouth of the dog, frozen in snow Slowly we're covered, unseen from the road The plans we made slaughtered in the sun Child, the wild hunt has begun Oh! My bones divide and shake! And I'm lost to the wind and the darkening day Silent prayers on a late night bus Is there any hope for us? Oh! What a love this was! Frozen in a morning kiss In a car by the side of a football ground The wind the only sound As the wild hunt went to ground
