|
I still remember that time when we were dancing |
|
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard |
|
Your face was simple and your hands were naked |
|
I was singing without knowing the words |
|
But I started listening to the wolves in the timber |
|
Wolves in the timber at night |
|
I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror |
|
In the howls and the moons 'round my eyes |
|
So long, so high, so long, so high |
|
So long, so high, so long |
|
Then winter came and there was little left between us |
|
Skin and bones of love won't make a meal |
|
I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder |
|
There were wolves at the edge of the field |
|
I still remember that time when we were dancing |
|
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard |
|
Your face was simple and your hands were naked |
|
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 |
|
Wolves in the piano, wolves underneath the stairs |
|
Wolves inside the hinges, circling 'round my door |
|
At night inside the bedsprings clicking 'cross the floor |
|
I don't know how they found me |
|
I'll never know quite how |
|
I still can't believe they heard me |
|
That I was howling out that loud |
|
So long, so high, so long, so high |
|
So long, so high, so long, so high |
|
So long, so high, so long, so high |
|
So long, so high, so long |
|
At times in the frozen nights I go roaming |
|
In the bed she used to share with me |
|
I wake in the fields with the cold and the lonesome |
|
The moon's the only face that I see |
|
I still remember that time when we were dancing |
|
Dancing to a song that I'd heard |
|
Your face was simple, your hands were naked |
|
I was singing without knowing the words |
|
So long, so high, so long, so high |
|
So long, so high, so long |
