Lyrics The Echoing Green

The Echoing Green

The Huntress

you're in my headlights

with nowhere to run

and I'm the huntress

and I'm getting my gun

I've got your eyes wide

this is so much fun

and we’ve just begun

and when we dance

I’m bringing hell in a dress

and with a glance

I'll leave your heart in a mess

with every word I've got a lie to confess

your eyes are so committal

this might hurt a little

you take the worst of me

and just make it seem like hell in the way

you break the best of me and

just shake the rest of heaven away

this thing that we've become

might seem like love to some

all the lies you've fed to me

they leave me standing empty

with nothing to say

and like a cross

you give the weary a rest

and like a vampire

I take it right in the chest

and every chance

I’m putting grace to the test

and I feel so numb

it's such a tragedy

this violent love affair with vanity

every stupid promise is a fallacy

I’ll make you settle for less

your end has come

you take the worst of me

and just make it seem like hell in the way

you break the best of me and

just shake the rest of heaven away

this thing that we've become

might seem like love to some

all the lies you've fed to me

they leave me standing empty

with nothing to say
