Hooooowwwwwwll
The lone wolf travels the ground, looking for what? Looking for hound. Something to feed his old soul, to make his heart swell Alone is to make his path, its a only way, and it feels ok. You old wolf you can't remain true, but there's something about you The Solitude excludes and alludes and what isn't there, it fills the air. Darkness, it's all around, swirling like wind, but not making a sound. As yards, turn into years...faith into fears....dew into tears..... I love to watch you brood cause there's something about you. |
