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
The 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
ย
So long, so high
So long, so high
So long, so high
So long
ย
Then winter came
There was little left between us
Skin and bones of love won't make a meal
I felt my eyes lifting over your shoulder
The wolves at the edge of the fields
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
ย
So long, so high
So long, so high
So long, so high
ย
And one day I just woke up
The wolves were all there
Wolves in the piano
Wolves underneath the stairs
Wolves inside the hinges
Circling around my door
At night inside the bed springs
Clicking across the floor
I still don't know how they found me
I'll never know quite how
I still can't believe they heard me
I was howling out that loud
ย
So long, so high
So long
So high
So long
So high
So long
ย
Sometimes on frozen
Nights I go roaming
In the bed you used to share with me
I wake in the field
With the cold and the lonesome
The moon's the only face that I see
I still remember
The time when we were dancing
Dancing to a song that I'd heard
Your face was simple
Your hands were naked
I was singing without knowing the words
ย
So long
So long
So high
So long
So high
So long
So high
So long
