‘Neath the skin of a bear
Please stay
For that is our way
Setting the woods on fire
I knew it
You who told me the truth outside
We could not
The saddest thought
All my harm I shall wear
You woke and found me there
In the skin of a bear
The sweetest song
Why has no one woke me
Setting the woods on fire
Please stay
I've waited for your noise all day
We keep down our voices
I clapped my hands
I imagined you some place else
Close to me
Beyond the pale and beautiful
We keep down our voices
And so forth and so on
Running hard and dirt, heavy
Lost in the backwood
Running hard and dirt heavy
You did not remember mine
Beyond the pale and beautiful
You woke and found me there
I was happy
Lost in my backwood
I saw in your face
Stay as I come clean
