I Saw You In The Wild - Great Lake Swimmers

I saw you in the wild

i saw you in the wild

i saw you in the wild

i knew you in the wild

you were nervous, you were furious

you were very sure-footed

dreams and intentions

full of wonder and amazement (?)

the fire in your eyes

you were in your disguise

you were haunted you were hollow

you could not see tomorrow

in the wild,

i saw you in the wild

i saw you in the wild

i knew you in the wild

in the books, in the trees

you were spreading your own needs (?)

and their hats all went off to you

they were trying to show respect for you

i was riddled with worry

you were all in a hurry

crystallized mess of things

there was a fear in it and all a great (?)

in the wild,

i saw you in the wild

i saw you in the wild

i knew you in the wild

holding onto high ideals

living incongruously

you were there among the leaves

your needs were directing you

and the wilderness, it spoke to you

they were threatened to choke you

you were always aware

you could sense that i was there

in the wild,

i saw you in the wild

i saw you in the wild

i knew you in the wild

i could tell by your look

you came from a book

and i read many times

all your funniest (?) lines

and the branches with the sages

i turned all the pages

we were two sets of eyes

two fires burning behind

in the wild,

i saw you in the wild

i saw you in the wild

i knew you in the wild
