Milagres Gentle Beast Lyrics

Loved a girl when I was twelve
From a book everythings in
To wide rule, pages in pen
And I saved each note
In an old box
So one day I could read them again
But I'll never feel the way that I felt
It's like the wolves howl out at the wind
They know there's nothing to kill
And no mate to win
And when the snow comes
The beast puts himself to bed
People here keep me afraid I'll never say what I should say
Not in this paved up ghetto yard
All chicken boned, subway cars
She saved my teeth
In a glass jar
One day I will see you again
But I'll never feel the way that I felt
It's like the wolves howl out at the wind
They know there's nothing to kill
And no mate to win
And when the snow comes
The beast puts himself to bed
