[Verse 1] Moss on the bark, cold rain in your hair Gold in your eyes, and a dare in the air My torn red sleeve caught under your hand The whole wood holds its breath where we stand [Pre-Chorus] Your teeth flash white, then you wait One inch between hunger and fate [Chorus] Hold me where the old roots climb Say my name and give me time Wild heart, keep your hands still I can choose you if I will Under the blue moon, fierce and near I feel the danger; I stay here [Verse 2] Silver mist threads through the deadwood spines Your rough fur brushes the edge of mine I set my palm against your chest Feel every hard beat, then let it rest [Pre-Chorus] You lower your head, you leave me room The forest leans beneath the moon [Chorus] Hold me where the old roots climb Say my name and give me time Wild heart, keep your hands still I can choose you if I will Under the blue moon, fierce and near I feel the danger; I stay here [Bridge] No chain, no spell, no claim by night Ask me once beneath that light I answer close, my voice my own And turn the dark to something known [Final Chorus] Hold me where the old roots climb Say my name; this choice is mine Wild heart, meet me eye to eye Let the warning moon hang high Under the blue moon, fierce and near I feel the danger; I draw you near [Outro] Moss on the bark, dawn far away Two wild hearts with room to stay
