lyrics

We were running through the forest,
With the wolves at our tail,
We were hungry they were hungry,
They'd be chasing us for days.

The moon began to howl,
And we heard the wolves sing,
Just trying to make it back to town,
Before it started snowing.

The wind kisses our clothes,
I don't think we'll make it home,
We could lay down in the snow,
And give our bodies to wolves.

Every night she came by,
All teeth and smiles,
The way she moved, the way she grooved,
She led our dogs to die.

They danced with her,
Out into the night,
Everything you train, you've made,
Will some day go wild.

Henry could take no more,
He went and got his gun,
Took our last silver rounds,
Back the way we'd come.

I heard gunshots,
I heard them turn to howls,
Sun sets in the west,
And I head on south.

The wind kisses our clothes,
I don't think we'll make it home,
We could lay down in the snow,
And give our bodies to wolves.

That night despite the cold,
I made my fingers move,
As the wolves gathered closer,
The closer shadows grew.

The only light were wolves eyes,
And then i saw, I knew,
So I turned,
And I howled at the moon.

The wind kisses our clothes,
I don't think we'll make it home,
My blood it stains the snow
I give my body to wolves.
I give my body to wolves.
I give my body to wolves.

The wolves, the wolves, the wolves the wolves,
The wind, the war, the world, the wolves.

I give my body to the wolves,
I give my body to the wolves,
I give my body to the wolves.

Always a Drifter (EP 2014)
by Greg Steps

Always A Drifter sounds like rain battering a rusty barn at the bottom of a wide open Australian field. That is to say it sounds pretty freaking great. Kevin Dolan
