Wolves Lyrics - Josh Ritter

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 

[Chorus] 

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 lifting over your shoulder 

There were wolves at the edge of the field 

But 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 

[Chorus] 

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 

Photos 

[Chorus] 

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 

But 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 

[Chorus]
