Lyrics
[soft wind, light rain, gentle strings]
[Verse 1]
[male lead – warm, storytelling]
On an autumn day, all dressed in grey,
Through the rainy streets a deer once ran.
Over hollow stones he flew away,
Like a burning arrow from the land.
[Pre-Chorus]
[female soft response – airy, echo]
Through the mist, through fading light,
Like a dream that slips from sight…
[Chorus]
[male + female – wide harmony]
Come back, my forest deer, hear my calling,
Take me away to your hidden land.
Where the pines touch the sky, where truth meets the fable,
Carry me there, my forest deer.
[Verse 2]
[female lead – brighter, lyrical]
As he ran, his antlers brushed the clouds,
Cutting through the silver rain above.
And it felt as if the sky itself
Turned to blue wherever he would run.
[Pre-Chorus]
[male harmony – supportive]
Step by step, the world feels clear,
Fear grows small when you are near…
[Chorus]
[male lead + female harmony – fuller]
Come back, my forest deer, hear my calling,
Take me away to your hidden land.
Where the pines touch the sky, where truth meets the fable,
Carry me there, my forest deer.
[Bridge]
[intimate duet – minimal instruments]
[male]
They say no miracles remain,
Washed away by endless rain.
[female]
But I know you’ll find your way…
If you believe, the tale will stay.
[Chorus]
[power duet – emotional peak]
Come back, my forest deer, hear my calling,
Take me away to your hidden land.
Where the pines touch the sky, where truth meets the fable,
Carry me there, my forest deer.
[Outro / Final Chorus]
[female lead – tender, hopeful]
You’re here, my forest deer, I hear you calling…
[male joins – lower octave]
You carry me away to your hidden land…
[both – sustained ending]
Where the pines touch the sky, where truth meets the fable…
Carry me there, my forest deer.
[Outro]
[instrumental fade, wind, soft strings]
