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
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


So long, so high?

Then winter came and there was little left between us

Skin and bones of love won't make a meal
I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder
There were wolves at the edge of the field

But 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

So long, so high


Then one day I just woke up
And the wolves were all there

Wolves in the piano
Wolves underneath the stairs
Wolves inside the hinges

Circling round my door
At night inside the bedsprings
Clicking cross the floor

I don't know how they found me
I'll never know quite how
I still can't believe they heard me

That I was howling out that loud

So long, so high


At times in the frozen nights I go roaming
In the bed she used to share with me

I wake in the fields with the cold and the lonesome
The moon's the only face that I see
But 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


So long so high
