Frightened Rabbit Lyrics

I scurry through the darkened field

The wind's too strong, my fur's my shield

The moon above, a searching eye

Lanterns sway as shadows pass by

I'm just a small thing, a heart that pounds

Running through the dirt, scared of the sounds

And these fields were made for me to roam

But every footfall shakes my home

I hear the echoes calling out

A voice that soothes when I'm full of doubt

The lanterns flicker like a fleeting hope

I chase the light just trying to cope

Lanterns in the midnight haze

Burning bright through the hunter's gaze

I find my way through trembling light

Fur on edge, I hold on tight

For every shadow that pulls me in

A lantern burns with hope to begin

I'll run these lanes till the morning comes

Chasing hope, till the darkness is done

I've seen the traps laid beneath the leaves

The snapping jaws, the crooked teeth

Still, I dart beneath the lantern's glow

Hoping to find a place unknown

To every whisper in the wind I hear

The fright takes hold, but I steer clear

With trembling paws and a wary heart

I keep running, though I fall apart

Lanterns sway like a gentle breeze

Lighting paths between the trees

I follow the glow with all my might

A tiny hope in the endless night

Lanterns in the midnight haze

Burning bright through the hunter's gaze

I find my way through trembling light

Fur on edge, I hold on tight

For every shadow that pulls me in

A lantern burns with hope to begin

I'll run these lanes till the morning comes

Chasing hope, till the darkness is done

One more leap, and I clear the stone

Heart still pounding, skin and bone

And though my fear won't ever rest

The lantern's light still burns my chest

I've been frightened, I've been lost

But I'll keep running no matter the cost

I see the light as it flickers there

A beacon bright in the midnight air

Lanterns on Leith, lighting my way

I'll run this road till the end of days

Every shadow, every fright

Burns to embers in the lantern light

To every heart that's small and scared

Lanterns burn because we dared

A thousand dreams in every step

I'll chase these lanterns till nothing's left

The lantern's glow, a fleeting sign

Guiding this small heart through the pines

I whisper low, I'll make it through

A frightened rabbit beneath skies of blue

And even when the world feels wrong

I know the lanterns will keep me strong
