When the Wolf Is at the Door Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

There′s an owl gliding silently tonight
The hours drag slow as morphine
In the dark are little flashes of light
Small hearts hold their breath then breathe

There's a storm like I′ve never seen before
Rumbling like a train coming up through the floor
We can't just be healed we must be transformed
When the sky goes dark and the wolf is at the door

My old dog lifts her nose into the wind
She can tell when trouble is near
We mark the sidewalks with symbols and lines
And pray that it don't stop here

There′s a storm like I′ve never seen before
Rumbling like a train coming up through the floor
We can't just be healed we must be transformed
When the sky goes dark and the wolf is at the door


It′s like a wave coming in
I can't stop or change
And the shape of things I knew
Won′t ever be the same

But when the old world ends
A new world starts
What finally comes together
First had to fall apart

I've been seeing things I thought I′d never see
There once were four but now there's three
Change comes slouching in unnamed and
Unforseen
With a quiet voice or on soundless wings

There's a storm like I′ve never seen before
Rumbling like a train coming up through the
Floor
We can′t just be healed we must be
Transformed
When the sky goes dark and the wolf is at the
Door
