Hunter Brookbank - The Man's Last Dance Lyrics

There was a man on a walk one day
Steeped in the howl of the pouring rain
Trees, canopies hid the stars away
For pitch black darkness some might say
On down the trail did he walk for days
Drinking the water of different streams
Earwigs and nightcrawlers filled his dreams
Till one day he was dead

There was a man on a walk one day
Steeped in the howl of the pouring rain
Trees, canopies hid the stars away
For pitch black darkness some might say
On down the trail did he walk for days
Drinking the water of different streams
Earwigs and nightcrawlers filled his dreams
Till one day he was dead

Up in the trees is where he lays
With the wind and limbs he sways
Stars behind him fill his gaze
It pierces me and you
His heartbeat runs a different race
The canopy his resting place
Ah the rope knot leaves his trace
And soon it might be you

Sometimes in the forest there
The rain may pour, the sky may glare
Putrid stench of blood in the air
May remind him of you
He walks in the branches, breathes the leaves
The sky his blanket, the night he is free
And when he wills it, so it will be
You'll find the knot around you

Sometimes in the forest there
The rain may pour, the sky may glare
Putrid stench of blood in the air
May remind him of you
He walks in the branches, breathes the leaves
The sky his blanket, the night he is free
And when he wills it, so it will be
You'll find the knot around you

Up in the trees is where he lays
With the wind and limbs he sways
Stars behind him fill his gaze
It pierces me and you
His heartbeat runs a different race
The canopy his resting place
Ah the rope knot leaves his trace
And soon it might be you
