[Verse 1] For seven weeks beneath the moon, They shared the hill and sang in tune, The bear would sleep beside the lamb, They'd talk of stars and who they am. The lamb would bring him clover sweet, The bear would guard him from the sleet, And everyone who saw them there Would say, “What friends—the lamb and bear.” [Verse 2] They wandered through the autumn rain, They laughed beside the windowpane, The bear told stories, long and grand, The lamb just listened, close at hand. But something changed one Tuesday night, The bear looked different in the light, And when the lamb asked, “Are we friends?” The bear just stared. [Chorus] Oh, friendship can turn strange and cold, Even after weeks of gold, And underneath the woolly white A lamb may hide a heart of spite. The bear was strong, the bear was tall— But strength won't save you after all. Beneath the stars, beside the lair, The lamb killed the bear. [Instrumental break] [Verse 3] No one knows precisely why, No one saw the final sky. The shepherd found a broken chair, A hoofprint—and a tuft of bear. The lamb stood quietly nearby, With something troubling in his eye. He whispered, “He was kind to me…” Then turned and grazed beneath the tree. [Chorus] Oh, friendship can turn strange and cold, Even after weeks of gold, And underneath the woolly white A lamb may hide a heart of spite. The bear was strong, the bear was tall— But strength won't save you after all. Beneath the stars, beside the lair, The lamb killed the bear. [Bridge] Seven weeks of bread and honey, Seven weeks of borrowed money, Seven weeks of jokes and dreams, Seven weeks of mountain streams. Then one small lamb, with trembling knees, Brought the mighty bear down to his knees. [Final Verse] Now every night upon the hill, The lamb grows strangely calm and still. He sometimes leaves a flower there, Beside the empty cave of the bear. And if you ask him what went wrong, He'll hum a little friendship song. Then, as the morning fills the air, He walks away— The lamb who killed the bear..
