Down Where the Rabbits Run

[Verse 1]
Time is but the distance
That we have brought between our friends
While men are wrought of wisdom
And violence wrought of song
We followed 'long the stone walls
When day was close to done
Lyin' in our promise
Down where the rabbits run

[Verse 2]
The birds that fly so freely
Have never fought the wind
Landing on a dogwood
Amongst the flowers and kin
But soon that they be hungry
Within the search there come
The cats that stalk the raven
Down where the rabbits run

[Verse 3]
The path we followed freely
It has followed into fall
The fields we left fallow
To follow our own call
But the colors burn so naked
Blistered by the sun
The mirror of my madness
Down where the rabbits run

[Verse 4]
I hope that you will never ask
Me to raise an arm or kill
Nor force me to be forceful
Nor bar my windowsill
For the men who talk of reason
Have reason for their guns
But there is never talk of treason
Down where the rabbits run
