Gentle Beast

[00:09.05] Loved a girl when I was twelve.
[00:14.57] From a book everythings in,
[00:19.92] To wide rule, pages in pen.
[00:24.91] And I saved each note,
[00:30.01] In an old box.
[00:34.64] So one day I could read them again,
[00:43.76] But I'll never feel the way that I felt.
[00:52.32] It's like the wolves howl out at the wind.
[01:00.62] They know there's nothing to kill,
[01:03.73] And no mate to win.
[01:09.22] And when the snow comes,
[01:11.57] The beast puts himself to bed.
[01:16.03]
[01:25.72] (noises)
[01:25.83] People here keep me afraid.
[01:31.13] I'll never say what I should say.
[01:36.78] Not in this paved up ghetto yard,
[01:42.35] All chicken boned, subway cars.
[01:47.29] She saved my teeth,
[01:49.74] In a glass jar.
[01:57.29] One day I will see you again,
[02:06.07] But I'll never feel the way that I felt
[02:14.69] It's like the wolves howl out at the wind.
[02:23.08] They know there's nothing to kill,
[02:26.10] And no mate to win.
[02:31.43] And when the snow comes,
[02:33.17] The beast puts himself to bed.
