Feelin' Fine & Killin' Time

Out in the darkness I saw the light.
I could see that the sky was cloudy,
but the hills were still out of sight. 

A wolf howled in the distance as I made my way down the path.
The howling had gotten louder, and before long I saw the pack. 

In the light of the morning sun I saw their breath in the air.
I sat down and hummed a tune, a song by Sonny and Cher.

By a river that I am walking along, with the hills just a mile ahead...
I will get there right before the dusk if I can make it there before I'm dead. 

With three hawks circling above I set up my camp at sundown,
and I prayed out loud for my life but there were no souls around. 

In the light of the glowing moon, I was taken by the night. 
My bones will rest here forever, and I'll start a new life.
