Lyrics Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons

The Wolf

Wide eyed, with a heart made full of fright

Your eyes follow like traces in the night

And the tightrope, that you wander every time

You have been wait 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

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

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

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
