Mumford & Sons — The Wolf lyrics

Lyrics

Wide eyed, with a heartling full of fright
Your eyes follow like tracers in the night
And the tightrope, that you wander every time
You have been weighed you have been found wanting
You’ve been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to learn to love and kind
Cause you were all I ever longed for
Shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door
He wanders ever closer every night
And how he waits, baying for blood
I promised you everything would be fine
Oh my gaze, love you know I want to let it go We will stand out at the wonder of it all
And I will hold you in And I will hold you in You’ve been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I want to look you in the eye
Cause you were all I ever longed for
