Lyrics

[00:20.88][03:01.78] I still remember that time when we were dancing
[00:23.40][01:20.07][03:05.08] We were dancing to a song that I'd heard
[00:27.61][01:24.09][03:09.04] Your face was simple and your hands were naked
[00:30.29][01:27.00][03:12.13] I was singing without knowing the words
[00:34.53] But I started listening to the wolves in the timber
[00:37.83] Wolves in the timber at night
[00:41.67] I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror
[00:44.71] In the howls and the moons round my eyes
[00:48.48][01:30.93][02:06.77][03:15.98] So long, so high
[00:59.20][02:17.09] So long
[01:02.85] Then winter came and there was little left between us
[01:05.69] Skin and bones of love won't make a meal
[01:09.94] I felt my eyes lifting over your shoulder
[01:12.83] to the wolves at the edge of the field
[01:16.73] But I still remember that time when we were dancing
[01:45.34] Then one day I just woke up, and the wolves were all there
[01:48.41] Wolves in the piano, wolves underneath the stairs
[01:52.08] Wolves inside the hinges, circling round my door
[01:55.33] At night inside the bedsprings, clicking 'cross the floor
[01:59.05] I still don't I don't know how they found me, I'll never know quite how
[02:02.35] I still can't believe they heard me, I was howling out that loud
[02:47.98] At times in the frozen nights I go roaming
[02:51.40] In the bed she used to share with me
[02:55.31] I wake in the fields with the cold and the lonesome
[02:58.46] The moon's the only face that I see
[03:26.53] So long, Oh
