C                                             
I still remember that time when we were dancing 
        Dm7                           F                 
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard 
F                      
Your face was simple and your hands were naked 
      Dm7                            F
I was singing without knowing the words 
C                             
But I started listening to the wolves in the timber 
Dm7                        F                         
Wolves in the timber at night 
C                              
I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror 
       Dm7                          F               
In the howls and the moons round my eyes

C           
So long, so high
Dm7      F           
So long, so high
C
So long, so high
Dm7      F
So long
                    
Then winter came and there was little left between us               
Skin and bones of love won't make a meal                   
I felt my eyes drifting over your shoulder 
There were wolves at the edge of the field                         
But I still remember that time when we were dancing 
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

So long, so high
So long, so high
                                                  
Then one day I just woke up                                              
And the wolves were all there                                                   
Wolves in the piano                                                  
Wolves underneath the stairs                                               
Wolves inside the hinges                                                   
Circling round my door                                                
At night inside the bedsprings                                                
Clicking cross the floor                                                
I still don't know how they found me                                                
I'll never know quite how                                            
I still can't believe they heard me                                       
That I was howling out that loud
                                          
So long, so high
So long, so high

[interlude, same chords]

At times in the frozen nights I go roaming 
In the bed she used to share with me                                          
I wake in the fields                                        
with the cold and the lonesome 
The moon's the only face that I see                         
I still remember that time when we were dancing 
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
                                                     
So long, so high
So long, so high
