Lyrics First Aid Kit – Wolf

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, and so thin
You’re a taker
Devil’s maker

Wolf father, at the door
You don’t smile anymore
You’re a drifter
A shape-shifter
Let me see you run
Hey ya hey ya

Holy light
Oh, guard the night
Oh keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow
Child of woe
Oh, keep holdin’ on

When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none

And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace

Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, and so thin
You’re a taker
Devil’s maker
Let me hear you sing
Hey ya hey ya

Wolf father, at the door
You don’t smile anymore
You’re a drifter
A shape-shifter
Let me see you run
Hey ya hey ya

Wayward winds
The voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall
Child of all
Oh, lend a mending hand

When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set
The trees were dead
And the rivers were none

And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
