The Wolf is on the Hill - Beck Song Reader

"The Wolf is on the Hill" from the Beck Song Reader.

Two guys recording one song, in one night, once a week from the Beck Song Reader.
This is our first stab and it's admittedly a little raw. You can expect upcoming songs to be progressively more intricate.

Recorded on 12/07/12.

All parts were performed and recorded by Tom McLaughlin and Mike Midden.

Lyrics:
The wolf is on the hill
The bird is in the briar
The thorn is on the rose
And your time is on the wire

Those days of grave concern
Have turned themselves to silence
While the winter fires burn
What was left of kindness
So hide what you have learned
Show off what you've squandered
And give yourself a turn
See how far from home you've wandered

The wolf is on the hill
The bird is in the briar
The thorn is on the rose
And your time is on the wire

Take apart circumstance
And set it on a fault line
An avalanche of the past
Locked inside a goldmine
And when you cannot stand
On the legs god gave you
The road has turned to sand
That your will sunken into

The wolf is on the hill
The baby's in the briar
The worm is on the rose
And your word is on the wire
