red wolf
Red Wolf don't come âround here
Clawing at my door
It's been four weeks since winter
And spring don't love you anymore
The sun comes up, the rooster crows
He sings a song of regret
I saw the blood-red sun as it rose
Your four teeth in my neck
The crow caws high above the river
I can see your tracks in the snow
It's been four hours since sunset
And my daughter still hasn't come home
I fear the worst; I fear she's dead
I fear she's all alone
I hear her there in your stomach
Screaming, I
just
want
to
come
home
