The moon was bright, I could see it clear

The night I went underneath the water

Yeah, the moon was bright, I saw it smile

Because I knew we'd soon be together.

You lit me up, and you let me down

And then you took my body to the river

I was so young

He was so young

I had no scars

And had no scars

I felt the tightness of your clutching fingers

Around my throat, you were singing.

Shut your mouth, baby, don't say a word

You are young and beautiful, and you are too good for this world

Shut your mouth, baby, I'm coming to set you free

With a thistle, and a whistle, and a grave I need to dig.

And as I flew, above the night, I had, oh, so many questions

Why in my youth?

Why in my youth?

Would you strike me down?

Strike me down

After all, you knew how much I loved you

And he replied, with a smile

"I am a wolf, after all, my darling".

Shut your mouth, baby, don't say a word

You are young and beautiful, and you are too good for this world

Shut your mouth, baby, I'm coming to set you free

With a thistle, and a whistle, and a grave I need to dig.

Shut your mouth, baby, don't say a word

You are young and beautiful, and you are too good for this world

Shut your mouth, baby, I'm coming to set you free

With a thistle, and a whistle, and a grave I need to dig.
