‘Hunter’ uses imagery of an olden day couple between a woman staying at home whilst her husband goes hunting and gathering, to depict a gradually failing relationship.
Harding narrates from the outside perspective as though she wants to be with the “good man”, but respects the woman’s relationship...
[Chorus]
He's a hunter, he's a good man
Be brave when he brings you nothing home
He's a hunter and a good man
Be brave when he brings you nothing home
[Verse 1]
In the garden, you are Adam and Eve
You don't need me
In the garden, you are Adam and Eve
You don't need me
[Verse 2]
I am bleeding in the river
She knows I do not run
I am bleeding in the river
She knows I do not run
[Chorus]
He's a hunter, he's a good man
Be brave when he brings you nothing home
He's a hunter and a good man
Be brave when he brings you nothing home
[Verse 3]
In the river, he has fallen
His blood begins to run
In the river, he has fallen
His blood begins to run
[Chorus]
He's a hunter, he's a good man
Be brave when he brings you nothing home
He's a hunter and a good man
Be brave when he brings you nothing home
