If you ever loved me more than a hunter loves the deer A phantom in his wildest dreams, excited as he feels its fear If this is love, I'll tell you this I thought the bullet was a kiss But no, oh no, I lose my crown A simple hunter shut me down I'm crying out, not for mercy, no I cry for love I cry for love What can you offer stolen pride? And I can take you for a ride These open fields so green and free You let me live, you let me be I'm crying out, not for mercy, no I cry for love I cry for love A second we will be as one A moment in the morning sun Then take my breath, my heart and bone But please don't leave me all alone I'm crying out, not for mercy, no I cry for love I cry for love I'm crying out, not for mercy, no I cry for love I cry for love Who's the hunter, who's the deer? I always wanted you so near But nearness always had a part Of someone's fearless open heart I'm crying out, not for mercy, no I cry for love I cry for love I'm crying out, not for mercy, no I cry for love I cry for love I cry for love
