A little bit of cryin' What will you do now that All your hopes turn into fears Will you cope or let out the tears A little bit of cryin' now Well that could be just fine But those rivers that you cry They'll drown your heart & mine Take your stuff and leave me now Yeah grab your things and go Go but grab them slow Rip these pictures off your wall If that is what you want They watch you from above And remind you of my love What will you do now that All your hopes turn into fears Will you cope or let out the tears A little bit of cryin' Has never done any harm But those rivers that you shed They'll flood us all away

We can't find the light Girl I hate when you're looking at me Cause you're not really watching me You're seeking my eyes just to see yourself Oh and I hate that smile And that deceptively generous touch You're fucking me now just to feel yourself We can't find a light We can't find a light It's a wet cigarette we're trying to ignite We can't find the light Girl I can't stand when you're delighting me Cause you're not truly kind to me You're licking my lips just to feed yourself And how I hate to feel this way But here are those words in your mouth (You're) praising me just to praise yourself We can't find a light We can't find a light It's a wet cigarette we're trying to ignite We can't find the light

The Dust 04:36
The Dust Your thoughts are wild horses Galloping in the dirt Look at the thousand hooves Whipping up the dust You once had all the words You forgot all the words Now your tongue is twisted (Your mind is broken) You need water to wash that dust To wash it off of your eye Love is only dirt It's a blind and naked murderer It holds you in his hand But you don't understand Just where it's a-goin' Where you're goin'

A parrot that talks A Jesus that walks on the water I have it all in my socks A bottomless box A grand-pa that rocks Yeah I have all of this in my socks But where are my feet As I stroll down the street Yeah where are my toes I ask but nobody knows Am I touching the ground Am I making a sound Am I loosing my head Am I sane, am I dead ?

Staying awake When the night is out Sounds and shadows Dancing loud Feeling the cold wind Feeling the rain The shame to be blind in a silence so great Is now on your mind So many hours are lost in the dark of your mind And they rot So many lights in the sky and you're scared And you don't know why You shake like a horse in the storm And you run in the meadow, lost Swearwords that rot in the mouth of the speechless And within the eye of the coward oh oh oh It's filling your mouth and so you're crying oh oh oh oh I lean on your mind on the side of the road Something in there burns but I can't see the light Freedom in your mind is all you want To the ends of death I feel the power in me on my cushions of blood There's a wolf at my door I feel the power in me and the howlin' of his in the storm

All of the trees all of the boughs all of the leaves The grass at the foot the boulders and the houses so many Afar the sea that your eye washes those images of one day [and the next The vices the virtues that are so imperfect The transparence of men that pass in the streets of hazard And women that pass in a fume from your dour questing Leaden-heart-shaped ideas so deep on your virgin lips The vices the virtues that are so imperfect The eyes consenting resembling the eyes you vanquish The confusion of the bodies the lassitudes the ardours The imitation of the words the attitudes the ideas The vices the virtues that are so imperfect Love is man unfinished

They say you're just a little girl I think it's just a big excuse They say you feel so low, my girl/squirrel I think you get too high, you abuse They say you're wet with tears I think you're too dry to be sad They say you're sweet but it appears You're too bitter to be glad Oh but now holler, kick and scream, shout at me Before the dark gets a hold of you Don't let the blue make you numb Cause this blues is nobody's blue I hear them all say your blues is Nobody's fault but mine But I lick up your wounds I'm trying to heal your bruises Everybody's going blind They say you're too young to cope I think I'll get old without you Just keep moaning and moping I'll hop around for you Oh but now holler, kick and scream, shout at me Before the dark gets a hold of you Don't let the blue make you numb Cause this blues is nobody's blue

The light was gone, the dark was all around We said "I love you" to see through the night The light has come back now and we have found A new day. "I love you" is no longer right Dull is the sting Dull is the sting You sing as if you'd swallowed all your dreams And kept all of the colors on your lips And now your tongue is painting, hanging low And now I see you panting, humming oh Fun is the singin' Fun is the singin'
11.
So long So long my dear I've come to hear Your last goodbye And maybe a sigh Maybe a cry Goodbye Goodbye my love My heart's at a loss Cause I'm letting you down Yes I'm letting you down But I'm leaving you sound And if goodbye is too good a word Then as the poet said, I'll say Fare thee well Farewell Farewell my lady My love has faded I've come to grief I've come to grieve you I've come to leave you

If Love is for breaking your heart Is Hate is for healing and restart If night is for lightning up your thoughts Is light is for darkening what you have got And I thought you were for being forever mine But I see you were for teaching me pain You were not for making me happy but for tearing me apart You were for killing me softly, that was your part Will these hollow words mend your broken heart? Would you follow me again if I asked you to restart? And all those empty sparks of thinking, will it bring reason to my mind? And all this happy ridiculous cheering up, will it ever help to find? peace? If Love is for breaking your heart Is Hate is for healing and restart If night is for lightning up your thoughts Is light is for darkening what you have got

Lullaby 03:34
I could wander about Going in, going out Your dreams I could stand here for hours Just to sing and devour Your eyes I may turn off the light And I’d stay here all night With you You might put on some clothes And give me one of those Cause It’s cold But this coat is too big Just for me I would need You to wear it with me That’s the way that I chose So that I can be close Up to you and your breasts Close to you and your breasts Separate from the rest That’s the best thing I can dream about I may turn off the light And I’d stay here all night With you Just one more lullaby And I’ll lie by your side Tonight You might pour some more wine In my cup and that’d be fine With me But this cup is too big Just for me I would need You to drink it with me That’s the way that I chose So that I can be close Up to you and your lips Close to you and your lips With my hands on your hips That’s the next thing I can think about I could wander about Going in, going out Your dreams I could lie here for hours Just to sing and devour Your eyes

Life gave me a love aflame It gave me your skin and breast Gave me your light and thoughts That now is time to waste They would all do the same They would all do the same Cause it was great to taste There's so much light in you So many thoughts, like letters And they just wait to be mailed If you could only manage This trembling voice to behave And sing your heart out to them You gave me a shape and frame That I would never find A shadow and a name But I leave it all behind I had found a curious pride That now is time to lose A sort of glory by my side Now what am I to choose I feel a strange guilt and shame Reasons are unclear No remorse, doubt or pain But still the feelings, are here Is there someone here to blame Is there someone left to blame Maybe this life that gave me your skin Golden and smooth Your thighs your eyes Slender fingers, the back of your neck Gave me all I could crave But is it a fun game to play I mean, look at what we became There's a flame that is gone But is it the same for all I had found a curious pride That now is time to lose A sort of glory by my side Now what am I to do You gave me a shape and frame That I would never find Say a shadow and a name And I leave it all behind

about

The Wooden Wolf France

The music of The Wooden Wolf, deeply sincere, is a music of spaces. They are big and wild, small and intimate, he absorbs the details and fills the void. It is an introspective music that nourishes text prose flower. His sensitivity make all the flavor of his compositions: a sensitivity as unique as universal. ... more
