When I wake up theres a question in my eyes
What am I doing here
Feel the heat of you lying t here beside
and I realise
love has brought me here
Past the open all night
Past the highway sign
Slip between the rivers
Swim to the other side
and I
Sing
Singing with the red wolves
and I
Sing
Singing with the red wolves
Stand at the gate of their pen and I stare inside
At a mating pair
Makes me want to cry
But their eyes are calm
And they almost smile
The female stands on her den
And she starts to howl
and I sing
Singing with the red wolves
and I sing singing with the red wolves
Theres a time to run and a time to stay
the ones that understand live
to run another day
But I second guess myself
Im last of a dying breed
and the red wolves they got down to seventeen
how'd they make it through
how'd they find a way to breathe
past the poisons traps and snares
and the lights too bright to see
Past the open all night
past the highway signs
slip between the rivers
swim to the other side
and we sing…..
