About The Wolf

“The Wolf” is the second single released from Mumford & Sons studio album "Wilder Mind". Like the rest of "Wilder Mind", Mumford & Sons eschew their banjo-driven folk sound for a straight guitar rocker; a love story where the narrator seeks to bring out the best in his fragile object of desire. Ben Lovett on “The Wolf”: "“The Wolf” came about halfway through our writing process. We had been kind of working on a bunch of songs […] and “The Wolf” was one that gave us a bit more conviction that we were ready to go. .

The Wolf Lyrics

[00:14.86] Wide eyed, with a heart made full of fright
[00:24.09] Your eyes follow like traces in the night
[00:30.48] And the tightrope, that you wander everytime
[00:39.60] You have been weighed, you have been found wanting
[00:47.39] Been wondering for days how you felt me slip your mind
[00:53.66] Leave behind your wanton ways
[00:56.74] I wanna learn to love in kind
[00:59.79] 'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[01:08.53]
[01:20.79] The shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door
[01:29.83] He wanders ever closer every night
[01:36.50] And how he waits, baying for blood
[01:45.66] I promised you everything would be fine
[01:53.39] Been wondering for days
[01:56.37] How you felt me slip your mind
[01:59.49] Leave behind your wanton ways
[02:02.54] I wanna learn to love in kind
[02:05.70] 'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[02:14.02]
[02:27.81] Hold my gaze love, you know I want to let it go
[02:34.09] We will stare down at the wonder of it all
[02:40.01] And I will hold you in it
[02:45.82] And I will hold you in it
[02:53.00] Been wondering for days
[02:55.93] How you felt me slip your mind
[02:59.15] Leave behind your wanton ways
[03:02.20] I wanna look you in the eye
[03:05.32] 'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[03:13.52] Been wondering for days
[03:16.45] How you felt me slip your mind
[03:19.42] Leave behind your wanton ways
[03:22.66] I wanna learn to love in kind
[03:25.70] 'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[03:35.01]
