Skinny Wolf

skinny wolf will you make it through the winter? skinny wolf will you be alright when it comes? the jaundice in your eyes gives you away and I know you like to hide and keep your darkness hidden from the light skinny wolf i know you'll never be a beggar skinny wolf i know you ain't got nothing but pride and life humiliates you when you're down and i know you think you've seen the limits of it's brand of cruelty i know you're meant to be alone that's just who you are you never wanted fame so you struck out on your own struck out on your own but you love her just the same skinny wolf there's blood stains in your paw prints skinny wolf the bitterness brings tears to the eyes the greyness got so thick it blocked the moon so you camped out in the woods sending family letters when you could skinny wolf the deer all wander through in rhythm skinny wolf their instinct almost makes you cry they never get a rest when autumn leaves and the noisy forest floor betrays the truth of what you're living for i know you're meant to be alone that's just who you are you never wanted fame so you struck out on your own struck out on your own but you love her just the same so you struck out on your own
