Watched the wind tear Autumn’s last leaves
From limbs with the moon in the trees
Here in this hollow
I won’t see tomorrow
Heard a sound crackle behind
Thought a dog paid it no mind
My neighbor’s son
I started to run
It’s nothing that we planned
He’s not an evil man
The lord will understand
Both of us victims of circumstance
Now there’s blood in the mud by the river
As I leak and I shake and I shiver
While he cleans his hands
I breathe while I can
They won’t find me nigh on a week
As I lay beside this fallen tree
Here in this hollow
I won’t see tomorrow
It’s nothing that we planned
He’s not an evil man
The lord will understand
Both of us victims of circumstance
