[Verse 1]
Bare feet on thorn
Silk torn on briar
Moon in the trees
Your torches get higher
I left the gate
Before the bell could ring
Now every branch
Knows I am the king's lost thing
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, little heart
Don't you fold, don't you slow
The creek hides my tears
From the men below
[Chorus]
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Blackwood run, don't you turn
I hear their hounds
I hear their steel
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Till the night learns how I feel
[Verse 2]
My glove fell off
By the old stone well
Your rider laughed
When he said I'd never tell
But I know this path
Where the foxfire blooms
And I know the name
Carved inside these woods
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, little heart
Don't you fold, don't you slow
The creek hides my tears
From the men below
[Chorus]
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Blackwood run, don't you turn
I hear their hounds
I hear their steel
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Till the night learns how I feel
[Bridge]
If I fall down
Let the moss be kind
If you find my crown
Hide it deeper in the pines
[Final Chorus]
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Blackwood run, don't you turn
I hear their hounds
I hear their steel
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Till the night learns how I feel
Blackwood run
Blackwood run
Blackwood run, and carry me
