Wolves

That I was howling out that loud
So long, so high, so long

Wolves inside the hinges, circling 'round my door
So long, so high, so long, so high
Skin and bones of love won't make a meal
I still can't believe they heard me
Then winter came and there was little left between us
At night inside the bedsprings clicking 'cross the floor
I was singing without knowing the words
So long, so high, so long, so high

So long, so high, so long, so high
Then one day I just woke up and the wolves were all there
The moon's the only face that I see
At times in the frozen nights I go roaming

I was singing without knowing the words

So long, so high, so long, so high
I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder
Wolves in the piano, wolves underneath the stairs
So long, so high, so long, so high
So long, so high, so long
Wolves in the timber at night
So long, so high, so long, so high
I still remember that time when we were dancing
Your face was simple and your hands were naked

I wake in the fields with the cold and the lonesome
I was singing without knowing the words

So long, so high, so long, so high
Your face was simple, your hands were naked
I still remember that time when we were dancing
In the howls and the moons 'round my eyes
Dancing to a song that I'd heard
There were wolves at the edge of the field

Your face was simple and your hands were naked
I don't know how they found me
In the bed she used to share with me
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard

I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror
But I started listening to the wolves in the timber
I'll never know quite how
