about

Recorded in London end of May 2008. Written the year previous. The chorus originally ran "Running with the hare, hunting with the hounds." There is a bit of Watership Down in this one, not to mention a touch of Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There is a Season).

lyrics

Hare looked up and spied the moon,
a crescent thin as gossamer
The kittens’ bright young eyes lit up,
its like they’d never seen

Beneath a black moon I will hide my skin,
down in the earth far from the eyes of men
Under leaves and sky I will raise my kin,
and there I’ll lie down when my time is done

Hind legs thumped on earthen drum,
the warren hummed, an old head growled
“Beware younglings, lest you misread
the warning in the heavens.”
