Lyrics

Wolf by First Aid Kit

Wolf mother where you been?
You look so worn and so thin
You're a taker a devil's maker
Let me hear you sing hey ya da 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 da ya

Holy light guard the night
Oh keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow child of woe
Oh keep holding 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

Hey yay ya ya hey yay ya ya

Wolf mother where you been?
You look so worn and so thin
You're a taker a devil's maker
Let me heat you sing hey ya da 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 da 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 he 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

Hey yay ya ya hey yay ya ya
