The Barr Brothers Wolves song lyrics

Hunt like a wolf, run like a river

Put your hand on the chest of a heart that is beating

You lie in debt, to a lover beholden

Trained on the paw of a singular union

Drive a hole through the mountain

Drive a car from the east to the western ocean

Back to a time when a promise was more easily broken

These were the seeds of the terrible winter

Your mother was a wolf

And she said to you

"It's not just how you see it, but how you're gonna see it through"

"I know you want to give it up, but who are you gonna give it to?"

I'm guilty like a son

Out of the womb, into the ether

Feel the rain on your head and the tundra beneath you

A sudden blow and nobody with a body can reach you

A dog with a bone and that ought to teach you

Your mother was a wolf

And she said to you

"I know you want to give it up, but who are you gonna give it to?"

"And the love, the love that's incomplete, it's twice as bitter and half as sweet"

I'm guilty like the sun

I'm guilty like the sun

The revel in your bones, the salt in your teeth

The bating of your breath, the ring in your ears

And it's clear

You're getting closer

To your fear

Hunt like a wolf, soon you are bleeding

Put your hand on the chest of a heart that is beating

You lie in debt, to a lover beholden

These were the seeds of the terrible winter
