[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

 Your face was simple and your hands were naked

      Dm7                              F
I was singing without knowing the words

 But I started listening to the wolves in the timber

Dm7                          F
Wolves in the timber at night

 I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror

       Dm7                          F
In the howls and the moons round my eyes

So long, so high

So long, so high

 Then winter came and there was little left between us

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
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]

So long, so high

So long, so high

C/G
So long, so high

So long

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

 Your face was simple and your hands were naked

I was singing without knowing the words
[Chorus]

So long, so high

C/G
So long, so high

Dm7      F
So long
