Enter The Haggis - The Hunter And The Phantom Limb Lyrics

The Hunter And The Phantom Limb

Today I walked out in the snow
So peaceful on the sleeping lawn
It filled my shoes and chilled my bones
You weren't there and I moved on
You weren't there and I moved on

The city streets were full of noise
Hammers, faces flushed with heat
The cars and windows all in lines
I couldn't see you in those streets
I couldn't see you in those streets

I passed a graveyard glistening
The grass of morning fresh and wet
The birds were screaming come and see
I walked away you weren't there yet
I walked away you weren't there yet

The woods were walls of shadows thick
With phantom limbs on hardened ground
The path was overgrown and lost
Fallen leaves were all I found
Fallen leaves were all I found

I check the hospitals and bars
I read the papers every day
Though i know you're still at large
They all say you've gone away
They all say you've gone away

At home I sit and feel the ache
Of walks alone in crowds of pairs
Though the search is hard I know
One day I'll look and you'll be there
One day you'll be there
