The Wolf
MUMFORD & SONS · Wilder Mind 2015 · Track 03 of 12
Written by Ben Lovett, Marcus Mumford, Ted Dwane, Winston Marshall
Wide-eyed with a heart made 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
Been wondering for days How you felt me slip your mind Leave behind your wanton ways I want to learn to love in kind 'Cause You were all I ever longed for
Sheltered, you better keep the wolf back from the door [Album version:] He wanders ever closer every time [Music video version:] He wanders ever closer every night And how he waits, baying for blood I promised you everything would be fine
Been wondering for days How you felt me slip your mind Leave behind your wanton ways I want to learn to love in kind 'Cause You were all I ever longed for
Hold my gaze love, you know I want to let it go We will stare down at the wonder of it all And I-I will hold you in it and I-I will hold you in it
Been wondering for days How you felt me slip your mind Leave behind your wanton ways I want to look you in the eye 'Cause You were all I ever longed for
Been wondering for days How you felt me slip your mind Leave behind your wanton ways I want to learn to love in kind 'Cause You were all I ever longed for
