Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Night I left the city, I dreamt of a wolf

[Verse 2]

He came from where the winds are cold

And truth is seen through keyholes

Strange longings that'll never sleep

And now he's come where no heart beats

Cry

[Verse 3]

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

[Verse 4]

Ooh, you can start, but you cannot stop

You give in, but you can't give up

You can tell all your desperate jokes

To a world that puts your love on hold

Cry

[Verse 5]

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

[Verse 6]

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry

Oh

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

[Verse 7]

Dreamt of a wolf

Yeah, a wolf

[Verse 8]

Ooh, the sunken-in eyes

And the pain in his cries

A shape in the dark (Dark)

Cry

[Verse 9]

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

[Verse 10]

Now

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

Cry

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

[Verse 11]

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry

Oh

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

[Verse 12]

Cry

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now

Cry wolf, ooh

Time to worry now
