"Howl" lyrics

I went after her all alone
Down in Cherokee County
Eyes of fire and a long fur coat
Her teeth could carve a mountain
Tracked her steps to the light of the moon
But she disappeared without warning
Heard a voice call behind my back

A ghostly sound
I hear her howl
Ooh, ooh

If you listen out late at night
You'll hear how she atoned me
It's a hallelujah sound
It's hollow but it's holy
Mother blood she is crying out
An ancient haunting spell
No protection can hold her back

She'll find her prey
She'll tear him down
I hear her howl
Ooh, ooh

Every man has an alibi
Every wolf a two-tailed story
Cedar trees and blood on the leaves
My soul can't climb to glory
It's a hallelujah sound
It's hollow but it's holy
In the woods, she is crying out

She'll find her prey
She'll tear him down
She'll tear me down
I hear her howl
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
