lyrics
The Wolves In The Valley:
We rode high on the mountain
Me up ahead
The wolves in the valley
We left them for dead
The wolves in the valley
We left them for dead
I reached out my hand
Pulled you from the dirt
In the bow of the saddle
You lay broken and hurt
In the bow of the saddle
You lay broken and hurt
Chorus
I had the strength then
You have the strength now
Oh power above me
Guide me somehow
Give me the courage
And spirit I pray
To blow out all the stars up in the night
And fade out the day
Fade out the day
We sat in the long grass
Watched the river bed
I caught our reflection
And threw a rock at the head
I caught our reflection
And threw a rock at the head
Just call me dusty
No tears left to cry
This blackness is taking
So long to die
This blackness is taking
So long to die
Ch 2
You saw what I could be
The spit in my eye
Ragged and filthy
Crazy and wild
You take what’s alive
And give me what’s dead
The wolves in the valley
They fill me with dread
They live in my head
You saw what I could be
The spit in my eye
Ragged and filthy
Crazy and wild
You take what’s alive
And give me what’s dead
The wolves in the valley
They fill me with dread
They live in my head
