Fate Is The Hunter

Kate Earl Fate Is The Hunter Lyrics
1.Someone to Love

You're a porcelain doll that sits in a window
You hold your breath when people walk by
Safely kept behind rose-colored glass
Neatly tucked beneath the spotlight

Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love

You're a Cheshire cat, you think a smile hides the rest
Ambiguity won't always cover the facts
Where do you come from? Where do you go?
Must be lonely to be all alone

Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love

And when they come, they l accept you just the way you are
You'll sway under a moonlit spell of rocks and sky and trees
Back dropped by the sea, thin wild mercury, thin wild mercury
Until then, you're

Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love
Waiting for someone to love, waiting for someone to love


2.When You're Older

Red-eyes fly away from here every night
My intentions aren't unfair or unkind
How else could I purge my heart of this billowed dream?
Arctic wind will be, washed from my hair, trading the forest to
the city
Things will be different for you, things will be different for
you

When you're older, you'll look back
As you grow you'll understand why I left

All I talk about is you since that day
Remember when I'm cry into my soup and you would say that it's
OK
So many things used to break my heart, I'm fall so easily
But you're younger and smarter and harder than me
Things will be different for you, things will be different for
you

When you're older, you'll look back
As you grow you'll understand why I left

I'm not comfortable in my own skin, haven't found my finest hour
I can't dance, let alone sing before a crowd
Or write effortlessly what I can't come out and say
When I do, I'll be just like you
Trading the forest for the city
Finding my way down the mountain
Finding my way to the sea

When you're older, you'll look back
As you grow you'll understand
You'll understand


3.Officer

Forty below, driving on deathly icy roads
Backseat is full of clothes, I gotta talk this over
Run out of gas, wake a stranger up to fill my tank in his
pajamas
I only go 10 dollars

I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
It's been a long road and I feel awful
I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
And that's all, that's all, that's all

She has company and I've walked into
The wrong room so I go to the bathroom
And wash my hands in sulfur water
A twitterpated buzz is coming off of her
My admiration forces me to leave her
She asks me to stay but I've outgrown her
So I'm back in my car and I get pulled over

I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
It's been a long road and I feel awkward
I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
And that's all, that's all, that's all

With a warning, I check my wipers and defog
I notice my mind is on the floor but I must move onward
So I pick a song and I sing along while lofty dreams dance on
and on
Over a place I'll live forever

I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
It's been a long road and I feel awful
I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
And that's all

I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
It's been a long road and everything's awkward
I'm not drunk, I wanna go home officer
And that's all, that's all, that's all


4.Silence

I know it's there, lit and burning to shine out
I know it's there, itchin' scratchin' just to shout buried
treasure saved
Waiting for perfect breezes, perfect waves
When will you dare to wipe that furrow from your brow?
Can't get nowhere halfway
So I'll be here till you're brave, till you say

That you love me, that you love me

And cause I'm left accountable for everything I gain
You'v e shown too many other ways for me to call it pain
This is just a stupid secret shared too many times
It's kinda like this thing that I would let go if I'm wise
Sorta like the way I feel that sometimes makes me cry
You look just like someone I know that cannot tell a lie
Cannot say, cannot say

That you love me, that you love me

If I could just convince myself of what I'm rather have
If I could just convince myself I'm better off, much better
With silence, with silence


5.Cry sometimes

My baby, he says he loves me
My baby, he says he needs me so
Covers me with sunshine, tucks me in with songs
Every now and then, troubles come my way
Asks me what to do and to him, I simply say

I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right
I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right
I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right

My baby brings me flowers
Takes me out to see the shows
He don't need complainin' I couldn't ask for more
Every now and then, troubles come my way
Asks me what to do and to him, I simply say

I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right
I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right
I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right

Now I'm like to thank you for everything you do
Whenever I'm around you, you turn my gray skies blue
And if the world should crumble, it's all right

I gotta cry sometimes but it's all right
I gotta cry sometimes, it's all right


6.Anything

What is meant to be will be, you can't escape your destiny
So kiss the girl and let her see that you would do anything
You would do anything, anything

What is meant to be will be, it happens over time, you'll see
So kiss the boy and set him free cause he would do anything
He would do anything, anything

When you never take the chance
Then there's nothing worth dying or even living for
But everybody knows the saying that goes
All you need is love, all you need is love
But you've got to be willing to give
Anything, anything

All of a sudden it happened there was nothing before it grew
From being alone and empty to belonging and being with you
I possess the honest pleasure of knowing what it means to be
loved
I would do anything, I would do anything, anything, anything


7.Free

Fall back into the snow, sink deep, bury all the troubles that
you keep
Follow close to the places your heart leads

Just for a little while, just for a little while
You'll be free, you'll be free

Child, I can tell by the look on your face
You don't think you belong, you don't think you belong in this
place
Promise to come back, promise to come back where it's safe

Just for a little while, just for a little while
You'll be free, you'll be free
Just for a little while, just for a little while, just for a
little while
You'll be free (I'll be the gold darling that will come tumbling
out)
(When you cut up, darling, what you reel in and fish out)
You'll be free, you'll be free, you'll be free


8.Come This Far

This pale mucha postcard brings back orange carpet
We called roaches butterflies and ate our pies at Birchwood
Saloon
Off the only road that leaves the state, I would sing and pass
the plate
They all knew me by my face and my father's name

Heavy letter underneath my door, stark reminder when I had
before
It's hard to believe I've come this far
Heavy letter in the dresser drawer tore it open like a candy bar
It's hard to believe I've come this far

Bright red hot rod hardtop off to town for Moose's Tooth
You comin' with To the parkin' lot
If not, you know my window's never locked
Drew leaned in and said it but his heart wouldn't let it
That's all right, I'll be my husband's wife

Heavy letter makes a perfect mark on the page and in the heart
It's hard to believe I've come this far
Heavy letter in the dresser drawer tore it open like a candy bar
It's hard to believe I've come this far

Nervous tearing through the sky, grieving every inch I gain
Counting pools and freeways, I will sing and pass the plate
They will know me by my face and my father's name

Heavy letter in the dresser drawer tore it open like a candy bar
It's hard to believe I've come this far
Heavy letter headed for your shore, a premonition of what in
store
It's hard to believe we've come this far


9.Sweet Sixteen

Your hands, they remind me of fond memories
Of the days that can't be taken back, sweet sixteen, sweet
sixteen
Cool river waters, dancin' beneath our feet off to sea
Meet me at midnight down by the tree, sweet sixteen, sweet
sixteen
Love me forever but if you have to go, say you'll write
Don't send me pictures, I've got you memorized, sweet sixteen
Sweet sixteen, sweet sixteen


10.Hero

Alycia stands behind me, ties black ribbon in my hair
The sound of heavy boots is slowly pounding up the stairs
The organ pours out slow and soothing old and rugged hymns
I long to find some comfort but my sorrow won't give in
This is the coldest winter in a thousand freezing years
And if I started crying, I could never stop the tears

You don't know what you've done
Not here to see the repercussions of your love
You don't know what you've done, you're not my hero anymore

Times is slowing down like a river clogged with mud
People gather round me, some friends and other's blood
The trumpeter stars playing Taps, the soldiers fire their guns
The folding of the flag makes the tears come in a flood

You don't know what you've done
Not here to see the repercussions of your love
You don't know what you've done, you're not my hero anymore

No one would say you were an easy man
No you were hard and stubborn and plain
And I'm tired of being held back at arm's length
Tired, tired and something's gotta change

You don't know what you've done
I didn't break, no I've grown strong
You don't know what you've done, you're not my hero
You're not my hero anymore, anymore, anymore
You're not my hero anymore
Not here to see the repercussions of your love
You're not my hero anymore, anymore, anymore


11.Surrender

As I surrender...
