lyrics

9. Grey Wolf

I don’t know exactly when
I met the grey wolf
came loping in sideways
from the empty night
empty but for one quiet star
in the sky
& the grey wolf he sang to me
by the song he sang I knew him intrinsically
& when I looked into his eyes I saw
that he knew me very well
Within the empty night with it’s one quiet star
in the sky
I stroked the grey wolf
& he leaned in close to me

Now the birds have stopped their scolding
& the dumbstruck sun surrenders
not to greyness or to night
but into nothing

I don’t know exactly when
I met the grey wolf
came loping in sideways
from the empty night
empty but for one quiet star
