Wolves Lyrics - Sleeping Operator - Barr Brothers

Hunt like a wolf, run like a river 

Put your hand on the chest of a heart that is beating 

You lie in debt, to a lover beholden 

Trained on the paw of a singular union 

Drive a hole through the mountain 

Drive a car from the east to the western ocean 

Back to a time when a promise was more easily broken 

These were the seeds of the terrible winter 

Your mother was a wolf 

And she said to you 

"It's not just how you see it, but how you're gonna see it through" 

"I know you want to give it up, but who are you gonna give it to?" 

I'm guilty like a son 

Out of the womb, into the ether 

Feel the rain on your head and the tundra beneath you 

A sudden blow and nobody with a body can reach you 

A dog with a bone and that ought to teach you 

Your mother was a wolf 

And she said to you 

"I know you want to give it up, but who are you gonna give it to?" 

"And the love, the love that's incomplete, it's twice as bitter and half as sweet" 

I'm guilty like the sun 

I'm guilty like the sun 

The revel in your bones, the salt in your teeth 

The bating of your breath, the ring in your ears 

And it's clear 

You're getting closer 

To your fear 

Hunt like a wolf, soon you are bleeding 

Put your hand on the chest of a heart that is beating 

You lie in debt, to a lover beholden 

These were the seeds of the terrible winter
