she's runnin' naked through the forest
in her broken grass-stained kicks
fitted to her feet to save them
from all of nature's licks
and she's spreading out her hands
to her sides as she runs past
to feel the brand new grapevines
as the river claps and laughs
and the boy he thinks he's climbing
up the biggest hill on earth
his dogs are quick behind him
and his horse is giving birth
and he runs to her and holds her head
to promise her it's fine
while the dogs jump and nip her tail
and her foal walks in crooked lines
they're dancing 'round the fire
on the shores of the dark lake
they're counting stars and swigging wine
to keep themselves awake
and when they fall upon their backs
to look up at the sky
they fall in love and say it’s time
to forget to question why
they're growing old inside themselves
and by their hands you know
they were born to live and born to die
and in between they'd grow
