About this song
A hunter stalks a mythical creature through the deep woods, bowstring pulled tight. But when the unicorn appears at dawn, its majesty shatters her resolve, leaving only tears on the string and peace in her heart.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Three winters I read the moss, your prints going soft in the mud. They swore you show for one breath of dawn, I knelt in the fern and slowed my blood. [Hook] The dark had one seam of gold, your horn was a branching crown, I let the bow leave my hand, and the war in me went down. [Verse 2] Then the wood went quiet, the way rooms do, and you came out of the grey, unhurried. I was weeping before I knew it started, salt on the string, salt on my face. [Hook] The dark had one seam of gold, your horn was a branching crown, I let the bow leave my hand, and the war in me went down. [Turn] Years on, metal came for the fields. I took the bow back up. Not for you. You crossed the smoke, the day broke early, and my arms held more than they should. [Hook] The dark had one seam of gold, your horn was a branching crown, I let the bow leave my hand, and the war in me went down.
