Wolf

I first met you inconsolably blue
Delicate beyond denial
By slender means and without a bean
Twas us we crawled the golden mile
One day when both ends meet
We’ll be living on easy street
Take this knotted handkerchief
And remember my name
We are two among millions
We are faces in the crowd (Faces in the crowd)
Girl, our names are written in red
We’d do a moonlight flit to our foreign bed
But the wolf is at the door and I’m afraid
But the wolf is at the door and I’m afraid
Don’t lose your rag Mr. Moneybags
You know it’s all in your head
Spit out your spoon I shall pay thee in tune
The goose that laid the golden egg
If it wasn’t for your many minions, man
I wouldn’t be so easy to lynch
You’ve taken a mile or two
I only offered an inch
We are two among millions
We are faces in the crowd
Girl our names are written in red
We’d do a moonlight flit to our foreign bed
But the wolf is at the door and I’m afraid
But the wolf is at the door and I’m afraid
Shy and revered paragons of virtue… won’t you stand and help me clear the air!
Shy and revered paragons of virtue… won’t you stand and help me clear the air!
…for the wolf is at the door and I’m afraid!
