Lyrics
[Verse 1] Under fern and silver bark I saw a deer with lantern eyes Foxes moving through the dark Like little flames in velvet hides Moths were writing on the air Circles round a hollow tree And every feather, every hair Looked like it was made for me [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the shadows held their breath When the moon climbed through the pines Even stones began to sing In their old forgotten lines [Chorus] Beautiful creatures, stay Beautiful creatures, play Mosslight on your fur Wild and soft and sure Beautiful creatures, run Beautiful creatures, come I will follow slow Where the bluebells grow [Verse 2] There was a stag with antler crowns Drinking from a crystal stream And an owl that turned around Like it knew the shape of dreams Bees were sleeping in the clover Owls were winking from the bough The forest leaned a little closer As if it wanted to teach me how [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the shadows held their breath When the moon climbed through the pines Even stones began to sing In their old forgotten lines [Chorus] Beautiful creatures, stay Beautiful creatures, play Mosslight on your fur Wild and soft and sure Beautiful creatures, run Beautiful creatures, come I will follow slow Where the bluebells grow [Bridge] If I close my eyes, you stay A living spell in every shade With your honeyed paws and cedar wings You make the hollow heartlands wake [Final Chorus] Beautiful creatures, stay Beautiful creatures, play Mosslight on your fur Wild and soft and sure Beautiful creatures, run Beautiful creatures, come I will follow slow Where the bluebells grow Beautiful creatures, stay Beautiful creatures, play Till the morning glows And the whole wood knows
