lyrics

Survivor's guilt

I met that wolf out on the road again tonight
His wild for matted black his teeth yellow white
Stood in my path there in the moonlit broken light
His eyes shine light glass he never lets me pass
There's something up ahead there glowing in the dark
A light was leaking through a crack left in your heart
He's pacing back in forth keeping us apart
You need to come back home, Won't he leave me alone.

Flowers die, the petals wilt, the clouds will cry
Tears are spilt. But you'll survived and you'll rebuilt
But in your eyes Survivor's guilt

I met that wolf out on the road there in a dream
Had he come there to show me things I couldn't see
And did his shadow follow you or follow me
He appeared again today in charcoal with eyes of grey
I learned the tail from 1635
The Garifuna & their struggle to survive
A people proud and strong destined to thrive
If only our love was strong like their courageous songs
