about

A song rooted in the experience of the pandemic. It is a reflection on our fractured, injured societies - and the hope we all have that comes with love.

lyrics

There’s a blind wolf in the woods tonight
Baying at the moon
Stepping through the fallen beams
Of every burned-out room
There’s a picture lying in the dust
In a broken frame
Paper peeling off the walls
With long forgotten names
Ooh, ooh
Going down the line
There’s a blind wolf in the woods tonight
And her eyes still shine

There’s a hissing of the tyres outside
In the midnight rain
A blue siren wailing
In the aquaplane
A makeshift day comes sliding in
Under sullen skies
Drifting through the blanket dawn
Where our ghost train lies
Ooh, ooh
Going down the line
There’s a blind wolf in the streets tonight
And her eyes still shine

Crawl away, crawl way
Over cobblestones
Crawl away, crawl away
We are blood and bone

Call me if you’re empty
If you lose all heart
Call me if you need a friend
To hold you in the dark
There’s a shadow in the hills tonight
Reaching through the snow
Looking for the scent of love
In the earth below
Ooh, ooh
Going down the line
There’s a blind wolf in the hills tonight
And her eyes still shine
Her eyes still shine
