Deep into the dark with you
A creature with no God in you
You took me to the woods
You took me to the woods and left me there

'Cause I took more of your heart than you
Would choose to share

If stepping stones don't bring you home
If they do, if they don't
If stepping stones don't bring you home
If they will, if they won't

If stepping stones don't bring you home
Bring you home, bring you home
If stepping stones don't bring you home
Bring you home to me
I shot the bird that led you on
Led you on, led you on
I shot the bird but still you're gone
What'll lovers be
What'll lovers be

And still I wonder all the time
If I could have made you mine
Wait in that eternal line
For you
But it would never be enough
You've never needed love that much
I've nothing else to offer up
To you

If stepping stones don't bring you home
If stepping stones don't bring you home

If stepping stones don't bring you home
If they do, if they don't
If stepping stones don't bring you home
If they will, if they won't

If stepping stones don't bring you home
Bring you home, bring you home
If stepping stones don't bring you home
Bring you home to me (bring you home to me)
I shot the bird that led you on
Led you on, led you on
I shot the bird but still you're gone
What'll lovers be
What'll lovers be
What'll lovers be

If stepping stones don't bring you home
Bring you home, bring you home
If stepping stones don't bring you home
Bring you home to me
I shot the bird that led you on
Led you on, led you on
I shot the bird but still you're gone
What'll lovers be
What'll lovers be

So it became enough to be
Alone, deep in the woods you see
It always felt the same to me
When you're here, when you're gone
