"The Wolves" lyrics - MANDOLIN ORANGE

At my gate, I'll always greet you
At my door, you're welcome in
There can be no transgression
As a means to an end
On the wind, the wolves are howling
Open arms are closed in fear
Helping hands are clenched in anger
Broken hearts beyond repair

[Chorus:]
Everything's so great, can't get better, makes me wanna cry
That I'll go out howling at the moon tonight

There she stands, so tall and mighty
With her keen and watchful eye
And the heart of a mother
Holding out her guiding light
Well, it's a hard road to travel
Solid rock from end to end
The sun, it rises on her brow
And sets upon the great expanse

[Chorus:]
Everything's so great, can't get better, makes me wanna cry
That I'll go out howling at the moon tonight

There she stands, so tall and mighty
Her gaze facing the east
At her back, our doors are closing
As we grin and bare our teeth
On the wind the wolves are howling
She cries to draw him near
Well, turn around, turn around my darling
Oh, the wolves are here

[Chorus:]
Everything's so great, can't get better, makes me wanna cry
That I'll go out howling at the moon tonight
Yeah, I'll go out howling at the moon tonight
