Mumford & Sons - The Wolf Lyrics

Lyrics

Wide eyed, with a heart made full of fright
You're eyes follow like traces in the night
The tightrope, that you wander everytime
you have been weighed
you have been found wanting

Been wondering for days
how you felt me slit your mind,
deep behind your wanting way
I wanna learn to love in kinds
You were all I ever longed for

The shelter,
you better keep the wolf back from the door
he wanders ever closer every night,
and how he waits begging for blood
I promised you everything would be fine
Been wondering for days how you felt me slit your mind
deep behind your wanting ways
I wanna learn to love in kinds
You were all I ever longed for
Hold my gaze love you know I want to let it go
We will stand down in the wonder of it all,
and I will hold you in it,
and I will hold you in it

Been wondering for days
how you felt me slit your mind,
deep behind your wanting ways
I wanna look you in the eye
You were all I ever longed for

Been wondering for days
how you felt me slit your mind
deep behind your wanting ways
I wanna learn to love in kinds.
You were all I ever longed for
