Wolf Song from The Fighter by Jeremy Wilms

I am a wolf chasing down the prey
But it's gone, long gone
You are the spark the kindles my dismay
Then is gone, a whisper

I've been searching all night long
But I lost you in the wind

I am not scared but I feel betrayed
By the ghost who lives here
Sweet in my ear just as I awake
With the myths that I made

Time, it rolls back onto me
Was blind till I could see

You act like a child when you run away
Come and stay near me

You strike so fast, I never know you're there
Till you're gone and its too late
Leave me the task to make it all work out
And at times it's too great

I've been waiting for so long
I won't let you leave me be

Stay for a while I will make the space
Come and talk with me

Broke from the pack when I called your name
They won't let you close
You took the bait and I became the game
Hoping for some pathos

Now I'm the one who is gone
When the dusk turns into dawn

It never fails, the cycle never ends
Circles back, on it's tail
