The Witch and the Fool Lyrics

I set out at dawn, my boots strapped tight

Crossbow ready, she's in my sight

But every time, she slips away

Laughing as she ruins my day

She turned my sword to a broomstick ride

Left me tangled, boots untied

I swear I'll catch her, just wait and see

But she's always one step ahead of me

Oh, she's sly, oh, she's quick

Got a cauldron full of tricks

She's got potions, she's got charms

And a laugh that sets alarms

Every time I get too near

She disappears and reappears

I'm the hunter, she's the prey

But this witch is slippin' away

I saw her once by the old mill stream

Gone again, like a fading dream

She left me chasing shadows 'til dawn

I tripped and fell – and she was gone

She cast a spell, my hair turned blue

My boots shrank three sizes—what can I do

I'll catch her yet, just give me time

But she's always gone before I climb

Oh, she's sly, oh, she's quick

Got a cauldron full of tricks

She's got potions, she's got charms

And a laugh that sets alarms

Every time I get too near

She disappears and reappears

I'm the hunter, she's the prey

But this witch is slippin' away

But this witch is slippin' away

But now I'm feelin' something new

Her spells don't sting like they used to

Her wicked grin, those sparkling eyes

Got me caught - no need for ties

Am I cursed or just stuck tight

Maybe I don't wanna fight

I saw her last night, she didn't flee

Her smile cast a spell on me

Now I'm chasing, but not to win

Maybe love's the trick she's in

She's got her spells, but I don't mind

Her magic's something sweet to find

I'm the hunter, but now it's clear

Maybe... I'll just stay right here

Oh, she's sly, oh, she's quick

But now I'm fallin' for her tricks

She's got potions, she's got charms

And a smile that disarms

Every time she gets too near

My heart disappears, oh dear

I'm the hunter, she's the prey

But maybe I'll just stay right here

Yeah, maybe I'll let her get away

Or maybe... I'll just stay
