[Verse 1]
Her daddy told her
"Don't you ever stay in your Sunday dress
Be serving the boys
Don't you raise your voice and make a mess"

In the dark of the forest
She's pulling all the thorns from the roses
Behind the backs of her suitors and the tutors
Breaking battles end with roses

[PreChorus]
You shouldn't be outside
In the full moonlight

[Chorus]
Are you hiding, crying wolf?
From the red they have in writing?

[Verse 2]
Her mother told her
"Don't you drink from the wishing well
The shadows on the walls
Are known to kiss and tell"

But in the back of a chapel
There's a leaf, there's an apple
And a warning
"Every deed in the heat of the night
Becomes the light of the morning"
[PreChorus]
You shouldn't be outside
In the full moonlight

[Chorus]
Are you hiding, crying wolf?
From the red they have in [writing]?
Are you hiding, crying wolf?
From the red they have in [writing]?

[Verse 3]
When she looked at the wolf
She saw her own eyes
Fighting tears and her fear
To go run and hide

And as the wolf drew near
She whispered in his ear very quietly
"So drop your swords, this war of words
Won't be won silently"

[PreChorus]
You shouldn't be outside
In the full moonlight

[Chorus]
Are you hiding, crying wolf?
From the red they have in [writing]?
Are you hiding, crying wolf?
From the red they have in [writing]?
