Lyric

Moon on the pines

Black velvet leaves

I found your trail

Under my sleeve

Snow on your breath

Ash on your coat

You stood so still

Like you forgot

Then came that sound

From the hollow trees

A velvet thread

In the dark between

My name, my name

Wrapped soft and low

Like something wild

That learned to know

The Wolf Hums Softly

Softly for me

The Wolf Hums Softly

Through the black trees

And I go still

When you call my name

The Wolf Hums Softly

And I don’t run away

Thorns by the gate

Frost on the stone

You kept your eyes

Fixed on my own

No teeth, no flame

No hunter’s cry

Just one low tune

Under the sky

Then came that sound

From the roots below

A silver ache

In the undertow

My name, my name

So close, so clear

Like something lost

That wanted near

The Wolf Hums Softly

Softly for me

The Wolf Hums Softly

Through the black trees

And I go still

When you call my name

The Wolf Hums Softly

And I don’t run away

If you are shadow

Then stay by mine

If you are sorrow

Then cross that line

I was afraid

Of teeth in the dark

But you held the night

Like a trembling heart

The Wolf Hums Softly

Softly for me

The Wolf Hums Softly

Through the black trees

And I go still

When you call my name

The Wolf Hums Softly

And I don’t run away

The Wolf Hums Softly

Low as the rain

The Wolf Hums Softly

And I know your pain

Moon on the pines

Black velvet leaves

The wolf hums softly

And waits with me
