Lyrics

[00:14.888] Life has given you a gift
[00:23.379] May I have it?
[00:33.636] Sitting up alone, sipping on writer's cologne
[00:38.805] My wife sleeps well
[00:43.769] I should have asked for some loving
[00:54.067] In the morning, for sure
[01:00.349] When Confederate Jasmine clings to the air
[01:17.338] Like a soft note from a dented horn
[01:24.365] And Grover counts to fifty
[01:30.099] In the other room, sweetly forlorn
[01:38.203] But there’s a wolf in my house
[01:44.352] Messing up the bed I learned to make in AA
[01:50.176] And a frightened child won't tell the wolf to go away
[02:00.087] It brings a smile to the tear in the eye of the shepherd on the hillside
[02:15.181] We've seen enough wolf for one day
[02:20.822] And packs his staff away
[02:29.812] The heart of man
[02:35.364] Is a fork in the road
[02:41.990] That’s where I stand
[02:47.321] As the ocean pulls the moon from behind the cloud
[02:54.047] Its face makes the wolves howl
[03:00.097] Wakes my wife, makes my wife find a towel
[03:07.860] She says, "It's late, I'm bleeding"
[03:17.963] And we're making love right now
