Hunters in the Snow

[Verse 1]
Well, hey, Tommy, I'm so far away
Up in these hills the tall trees sway
As hunters haul their fallen prey
And the snow falls on the lane
And I'm shivering once again
Somehow, my friend, I fell asleep
And tied my ankles in my sheets
Awoke so slow to snow so deep
No, but I can't run away
To my horses and my sleigh

[Chorus]
Oh, now I know I'm home
Yes, now I know I'm home

[Verse 2]
Well, hey, Tommy, tell me how you been
I heard you chipped your chiseled chin
And sea salt burned the broken skin
As the thick ice melted thin
Now we see the end begin
Oh, isn't it so strange to think
How down in the ground our bones will sink
And fill the holes where blind moles blink
But we somehow find our way
To the palace in the clay

[Chorus]
Oh, now I know I'm home
Yes, now I know I'm home

[Verse 3]
The little girl's a silhouette
Against the evergreen she set
In summer when the ground was wet
Now the roots have found a hold
And they'll protect her from the cold
Well, I'm just a city boy, my friend
But I know where the winter ends
It walks away as spring begins
And dies beneath the rain
Then this whole mess starts again

[Chorus]
Oh, now I know I'm home
Yes, now I know I'm home
