White Tail Promise

Early morning in the valley deep

Underneath the branches where the shadows sleep

There's a movement in the quiet brush

Breaking through the cold and heavy hush

I hold my breath

and watch her stand

A silent grace across this frozen land

White tail running through the morning gray

Gone like a spirit at the break of day (ooh,

white tail) With a leap of faith she clears the line

A ghost of beauty in the woods of pine

Tracks left behind in the heavy snow

Showing me the places where the wild things go

She knows the paths that I will never walk

Safe from the hunter and the red-tailed hawk

White tail running through the morning gray

Gone like a spirit at the break of day (ooh,

white tail) With a leap of faith she clears the line

A ghost of beauty in the woods of pine

Just a flash of white in the timber line (mmm)

Gone in a moment's time
