The Wolf

AlphabetLyrics.com


Wide-eyed with a heart made full of fright
Your eyes follow like tracers in the night
And the tightrope that you wander everytime
You have been weighed, you have been found wanting.

Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting waves
I want to learn to love in kind
'cause you were all I ever longed for.

Sheltered, 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.

Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting waves
I want to learn to love in kind
'cause you were all I ever longed for.

Hold my gaze love, you know I want to let it go
We will stare down at the wonder of it all
And i-i will hold you in it and i-i will hold you in it.

Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting waves
I want to look you in the eye
'cause you were all I ever longed for.

Been wondering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting waves
I want to learn to love in kind
'cause you were all I ever longed for.
