I’ll wave my arms around
Trying to change the way the wind blows
So that pack of wild dogs won’t find their way to you
It’s lonely when you watch the night fall
And the pale light casts a shadow on a rose

Alone among friends
She hears enough
An ear for your lament
An iris for your love

She picks the coloured petals
And she pins them to the wall
Each one is the body of a dream that hasn't found a soul
She’s hoping there’s a wolf
Who will hear her fragile call
So she can douse that room in gasoline and leave the ashes cold

Alone among friends
She hears enough
An ear for your lament
An iris for your love
