lyrics

Today is the villain’s last gasp
I can’t wait to rid you of
Your ghosts and demons at last

Atop a hillock in full moon light
Dancing with delight
Ripping wolfsbane from the earth
Laughing up at the sky with mirth

CHORUS
Oh wolfchild
Don’t leave me alone
Take me with you
Wherever you may roam

Conquered fears, a garlic necklace
Hide that monkey mask, it makes me feel reckless
Oh why must I be tormented
Will nothing be cemented

An empty summer’s afternoon
Turned upside down by coffee and you
Beer for dessert and conversation
Street necking and whimsical pondering

CHORUS

Figs and cheese in a Persian cave
Underground dark lit you act like a knave
I just laugh and toss my dark hair
‘Cause I know your heart is fair

Later near the bluffs
Hang glider heaven
Dipped a toe in that murky ocean
Poled the boat, no help from Charon

CHORUS

INTERLUDE
So began my descent
I felt I was buoyed and floating
I believed you were
Godly sent

On the beach licked by cold salt water
My Drift wood tightrope soldier
Lying on wind rough rocks
We’d have lovely brooding daughters

* * *

Late that night we’re tucked away
Bumming smoke and flame
Watching drunk fools laugh
Wish I could forget and just stumble off

Today is the villain’s last gasp
I can’t wait to rid you of your
Ghosts and demons
Your ghosts and demons
At last
