lyrics

follow with your eye the animal
moving through the trees
watch where the horizontal line forms the vertices

follow with your eye the animal
train the eye to tell
the spots on her hide from the skin of the alder
follow with your eye the animal

grey wolf howling
all the night and all the morning
build a fence of sound around the valley
bluff to bluff their voices bouncing
seems the pack is multiplying
set the deer to run

follow with your eye the animal
listen for the leaves
notice the movement of the birds
the rustling wings
follow with your eye the animal
never look away
and if a thought should cloud the mind
let it pass by
follow with your eye the animal

on the beach the eagle nesting
dives across the path we're walking
cries a piercing cry to come no farther
all the night and all the morning
grey wolf howling
set the deer to run

follow with your eye the animal

the same I hear you singing
round our patch of land
fallow for a hundred years
and turned over by your hand
