Filk: Wolf in the Night

I haven't finished my Heather filk, so that will have to wait.

replyMeanwhile, here's the latest in the recent efforts Andrew and I have made toward filking Richard and Linda Thompson's Shoot Out the Lights CD.

(At this point, we've completed four of the eight tracks. There is no overall theme.)

                                                        Dan, ad nauseam

                                Wolf in the Night

			     Lyrics:  Daniel Reitman
	Music:  "Shoot Out the Lights," Richard Thompson

	Dedicated to Lon Chaney, Jr.

In the dark I can feel his mane
In the dark he can smell me
He shows me his claws
He shows me his claws
Grows his hair out with the full moon
He hunts for his prey
Wolf in the night
Wolf in the night

Keep a watch on, there's a full moon out Keep a silver blade ready
He hunts in the dark
He hunts in the dark
And he might strike if you come near him As he wanders through the night
Wolf in the night
Wolf in the night

In the darkness the shadows move
In the darkness the wolf is real
Real as the moon
Real as the moon
As he wakes up somewhere in the bushes
And he looks at his hands
Wolf in the night
