The hunter

Barry Gibb


Not many days when the summer is gone
And the water is dry 
The silence of war 
You can never go home 
You cannot ever go home 
So many lights in the heaven I saw
When the living were dead
And the mother instead
Keeps her little boy warm,
Keeping her little boy warm 

Fools never knowing
Never knew which storm was blowing 
No one left to save the day 
Only nights last forever 
All the truth don't change my weather 
Let me live, let me hide away  
And all my world has torn apart 
No glow of love, no beating heart 
There is danger on the earth tonight 
And I'm alone 

When the hunter comes 
When the hunter comes 

Down from the cities
And the valleys of woe
And the rivers of blood
And the army of souls 
They will never grow old 
Nor will they ever be cold 
So many nights with the love in my arms 
When I lay down beside you 
Who can tell when the moment is gone 
Never be over and done 

Fools never trying
Never knew which child was crying 
You're the reason for the rain 
It's the road that you followed 
Made it so there's no tomorrow 
Only people are that insane 
And all my love,  is nothing more
Than feelings that I had before 
There are strangers on the earth tonight 
And I'm alone 

When the hunter comes
When the hunter comes
When the hunter comes

There'll be no return 
Should be die to learn 
When the hunter comes
