What did that bad man put in you?
Did those rotten kids cross a line?
I'm afraid I'll never understand, baby
And I'm so sorry you had such a bad time

Well, I have done some truly awful things
And you must be very terrified
Well, you have every reason to be frightened
Since you've been readin' my mind

Oh, who am I to deny this moment?
And who am I to even question it?
There is a cross on the mountain, baby
There is a cross glowing over your head

Please break this spell you have me under
Every heart is a lonesome hunter
Please break this spell you have me under
Oh yes, every heart is a lonesome hunter

Sparrows at your window
Starlings at your door
Magpies wherever we go
Is it blackbirds forevermore?

Well, I'm staring at a hole in my head
And I've been staring through a hole in your head
And I'm moving like a zombie, baby
I am a zombie comin' slow to your bed

Well, who am I to deny this moment?
And who am I to even question it?
There is a cross on my mountain, baby
There is a cross glowing over your head

Please break this spell you have me under
Every heart is a lonesome hunter
Please break this spell you have me under
Oh yes, every heart is a lonesome hunter
Is a lonesome hunter
Is a lonesome hunter
Every heart is a lonesome hunter
