Mumford & Sons - The Wolf Lyrics

Mumford & Sons Lyrics

"The Wolf"

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 wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna 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 wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna 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 wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna look you in the eye
'Cause You were all I ever longed for

Been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause You were all I ever longed for
