Lyrics
The Wolf
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wide eyed, with a heart made full of fright
Your eyes follow like traces in the night
And the tightrope, that you wander every time
You have been wait you have been found wanting
You've been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to learn to love and kind
Cause you were all I ever longed for
Shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door
He wanders ever closer every night
And how he waits, baying for blood
I promised you everything would be fine
You've been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to learn to love and kind
Cause you were all I ever longed for
Oh my gaze, love you know I want to let it go
We will stand out at the wonder of it all
And I will hold you in
And I will hold you in
You've been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to look you in the eye
Cause you were all I ever longed for
You've been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to learn to love and kind
Cause you were all I ever longed for
