Wolves

In the bed she used to share with me
That I was howling out that loud
So long, so high, so long
At night inside the bedsprings clicking 'cross the floor
I still can't believe they heard me
So long, so high, so long, so high
I still remember that time when we were dancing
Wolves in the piano, wolves underneath the stairs
Skin and bones of love won't make a meal
Dancing to a song that I'd heard
But I started listening to the wolves in the timber
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
I'll never know quite how
Your face was simple, your hands were naked

I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror
Wolves inside the hinges, circling 'round my door

At times in the frozen nights I go roaming
So long, so high, so long
Then one day I just woke up and the wolves were all there
So long, so high, so long, so high
I still remember that time when we were dancing
Then winter came and there was little left between us

I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder
In the howls and the moons 'round my eyes
The moon's the only face that I see

I was singing without knowing the words

So long, so high, so long, so high
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard
Your face was simple and your hands were naked

I don't know how they found me

There were wolves at the edge of the field
So long, so high, so long, so high
Wolves in the timber at night

I was singing without knowing the words
So long, so high, so long, so high

So long, so high, so long, so high
Your face was simple and your hands were naked
