[Verse 1]
C/G I still remember that time when we were dancing Dm7 F We were dancing to a song that I'd heard C/G Your face was simple and your hands were naked Dm7 F I was singing without knowing the words C/G But I started listening to the wolves in the timber Dm7 F Wolves in the timber at night C/G I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror Dm7 F In the howls and the moons round my eyes
[Chorus]
C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long, so high C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long
[Verse 2]
C/G Then winter came and there was little left between us Dm7 F Skin and bones of love won't make a meal C/G I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder Dm7 F There were wolves at the edge of the field C/G But I still remember that time when we were dancing Dm7 F We were dancing to a song that I'd heard C/G Your face was simple and your hands were naked Dm7 F I was singing without knowing the words
[Chorus]
C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long, so high C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long
[Verse 3]
C/G Then one day I just woke up, and the wolves were all there Dm7 F Wolves in the piano, wolves underneath the stairs C/G Wolves inside the hinges, circling round my door Dm7 F At night inside the bed-springs, clicking 'cross the floor C/G I still don't know how they found me, I'll never know quite how Dm7 F I still can't believe they heard me, that I was howling out that loud
[Chorus]
C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long, so high C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long
[Interlude]
C/G Dm7 F
[Verse 4]
C/G At times in the frozen nights I go roaming Dm7 F In the bed she used to share with me C/G I wake in the fields, with the cold and the lonesome Dm7 F The moon's the only face that I see C/G I still remember that time when we were dancing Dm7 F We were dancing to a song that I'd heard C/G Your face was simple and your hands were naked Dm7 F I was singing without knowing the words
[Chorus]
C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long, so high C/G So long, so high Dm7 F So long
