lyrics

Crying out at the winter’s ledge
I heard he was the talk of the town
A wolf like, a wolf like
Hold on me
Howling Dog.

Don’t you cry for him
I’ve been here within
Don’t you cry for him
We’ve seen his kind before

Coz I know what it’s like
To be taken at night
A wolf can kill
With just one bite
And be saved by a kiss.

Oh isn’t that such a pretty way to die
Don’t be afraid to cry
If you never see the daylight
I’ve seen it all before
That’s why I say nothing anymore.

They say how can you be so cold at night?
How can you be?
How can you be so cold at night?
I could never be cold as you are to me,
no I could never be as cold as you are to me.

So what if they don’t like wolves?
We like things that move in the night the way that they should.
So what if they don’t like wolves?
Pray like fools, in the night the way that they should.
So what if they don’t like wolves? …
