D
I still remember the time when we were dancing
Em G
We were dancing to a song that I d heard
D
Your face was simple and your hands were naked
Em G
I was singing without knowing the words
D
I started listening to the wolves and the timber
Em G
Wolves in the timber at night
D
I heard the song when I looked in the mirror
Em G
In the howls and the moons round my eyes
D
So long so high
Em G
So long so high
D
So long so high
Em G
So long
Then winter came and there was little left between us
Skin and bones of love won't make a meal
I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder
There were wolves at the edge of the field
But I still remember that time when we were dancing
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard
Your face was simple and your hands were naked
I was singing without knowing the words
So long so high
Then one day I just woke up
And the wolves were all there
Wolves in the piano
Wolves underneath the stairs
Wolves inside the hinges
Circling round my door
At night inside the bedsprings
Clicking cross the floor
I don't know how they found me
I'll never know quite how
I still can't believe they heard me
That I was howling out that loud
So long so high
At times in the frozen nights I go roaming
In the bed she used to share with me
I wake in the fields with the cold and the lonesome
The moon's the only face that I see
But I still remember that time when we were dancing
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard
Your face was simple and your hands were naked
I was singing without knowing the words
So long so high
Josh.
