Lyrics
Intro
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
