The Wolf Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The wolf sits at my door
Can't escape him anymore
He knows I've lost the war
And he's takin' me for good
I tell those I adore
And the dishes hit the floor
The snow drifts on the porch
I bite my lip and brave the storm
[Chorus]
A fire that burns out for the last time
A satellite fallin' from the sky
[Verse 2]
Pictures on the wall
Another face I can't recall
Patches in my thoughts
Like my jacket down the hall
So wear this when I'm gone
I won't be here to keep you warm
We'vе said goodbye before
And now it's timе, but I want more
[Chorus]
A fire that burns up for the last time
A satellite fallin' from the sky
A northern light shines on the horizon
With courage and grace you said goodbye
[Bridge]
So let me whisper you a reminder
Before they come to take me away
Whenever there's no hope left to inspire
Keep shinin' the light they all need to see
[Chorus]
A fire that burns up for the last time
A satellite fallin' from the sky
I know the light shines on the horizon
With courage and grace you said goodbye
A fire that burns up for the last time
With courage and grace you waved goodbye
Oh, goodbye

What have the artists said about the song?
Ian D'Sa:
Shortly after this was written, my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, so the song really hit home for me, because it was kind of telling the same story as what my mom was going through. It’s a hard song for me to talk about. But it’s also about remembering the light that person br...
