Wood Elk from Duloc by Worthikids

Went a walking in the woods one day
After getting in a fight with my friend Bob
Said some things that one should never say
I feel a hint of regret -- but it's all his fault
Suddenly out' the corner of my eye
I witnessed such a sight
I whispered softly, "could it maybe be?"
It was then that the Wood Elk came to me

Woke an hour later, far away
My skin was freckled with salt and galena
Not a crumb could help me find my way
I was lost and that was that -- or so it seemed
Suddenly out' the corner of my eye
I witnessed such a sight
Came upon a daisy-covered Sidhe
It was then that the Wood Elk came to me

And then I knew
My very soul had changed
Saying sooths
I watched it go away
My gold, my home, my market job
My mother, my father, and even Bob
Everything I was had faded away

Went a walking in the woods one day
I was looking for myself, inside the rift
Can't remember how to speak my name
If I wrote it down would the words persist
Suddenly out' the corner of my eye
I witnessed such a sight
I whispered softly, "could it maybe be?"
It was then that the Wood Elk came to me
