Wolves

(album: American Love Song - 2019)

The howling moon would cry
I'd sleep the sun away
I was just a child
I knew I was afraid
There was nothing to gain, I found
By running the other way
I had to stand my ground
And keep the wolves at bay

But I knew somehow
There would come a day
So I stood my ground
Kept the wolves at bay

Would not take no more
Had my fill
Stars had faded from my eyes
And run from looks that kill
There was no one coming around
To save me from the fray
I had to stand my ground
And keep the wolves at bay

But I knew somehow
There would come a day
When I stood my ground
Kept the wolves at bay

Well I knew somehow
There would come a day
So I stood my ground
Kept the wolves at bay

Years have gone by
And the calling carries on
Scars above my eye
Are tender to the bone
And though I've settled down
I hear the children say
"You have to stand your ground
And keep the wolves at bay"

Well I knew somehow
There would come the day
When I stood my ground
Kept the wolves at bay

Well I knew somehow
There would come the day
So I stood my ground
Kept the wolves at bay
