lyrics

I tiptoed around her softly
to let sleeping wolves lie
I did not wish to wake her
so I wrote down my goodbyes
I left her lying peaceful
by the riverside

I laced my boots up softly
to let sleeping wolves lie
Hand caressed her body,
lips left kisses on her eyes
I crept out the backdoor
and turned out the light

I packed my things up softly
to let sleeping wolves lie
Awake I tried to shake her
to tell her my goodbyes
I walked out the front door
and turned out the light

I brewed my coffee softly
to let sleeping wolves lie
I dropped a glass here and there
to see if she'd bat an eye
I slammed the front door
screaming my goodbyes

I stomped my boots round softly
to let sleeping wolves lie
A stone wild and jagged
could not cut through her hide
I left her body lying thirsty
by the riverside
