The Wolf
We wandered with the wolves in pursuit
The hunger hot on our heels
Scenting our bloody tracks
The fear that fails not to smell fear
Seemed we had the same direction
Following the fleeing deer
With fiery eyes watching each other
Cautiously circling and stalking
Winter's wind it howled and hollered
Gently blew the breeze of summer
Scudding were the storms of autumn
Southerly saw hope a-stirring
And howling in the haunted night
Sang the wolves of the wild
Shadows scurrying in the moonlight
Circling us in the darkness
Searing fire in our torches
With the cold light of the day
Fighting them time and again
We drove the wolves away
Winter's wind it howled and hollered
Gently blew the breeze of summer
Scudding were the storms of autumn
Southerly saw hope a-stirring
Bunt came the spring and misty morning
Through the grey borders of sleep
I saw a wolf lie by our cave
Seeking me night after night
Winter's wind it howled and hollered
Gently blew the breeze of summer
Scudding were the storms of autumn
Southerly saw hope a-stirring
We drove the wolves away, yeah
We drove the wolves away
The hunger hot on our heels
Scenting our bloody tracks
The fear that fails not to smell fear
Seemed we had the same direction
Following the fleeing deer
With fiery eyes watching each other
Cautiously circling and stalking
Winter's wind it howled and hollered
Gently blew the breeze of summer
Scudding were the storms of autumn
Southerly saw hope a-stirring
And howling in the haunted night
Sang the wolves of the wild
Shadows scurrying in the moonlight
Circling us in the darkness
Searing fire in our torches
With the cold light of the day
Fighting them time and again
We drove the wolves away
Winter's wind it howled and hollered
Gently blew the breeze of summer
Scudding were the storms of autumn
Southerly saw hope a-stirring
Bunt came the spring and misty morning
Through the grey borders of sleep
I saw a wolf lie by our cave
Seeking me night after night
Winter's wind it howled and hollered
Gently blew the breeze of summer
Scudding were the storms of autumn
Southerly saw hope a-stirring
We drove the wolves away, yeah
We drove the wolves away
