“The Wolf” is the second single released from Mumford & Sons 2015 album, Wilder Mind. Like the rest of Wilder Mind, Mumford & Sons eschew their banjo-driven folk sound for a straight guitar rocker; a love story where the narrator seeks to bring out the best in his fragile object of desire.
The Wolf Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Wide eyed with a heart made full of fright
Your eyes follow like tracers in the night
And the tightrope, that you wander every time
You have been weighed, you have been found wanting
[Chorus]
Been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanting ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Shelter, you better keep the wolf back from the door
He wanders ever closer every night
And how he waits, bayin' for blood
I promised you everything would be fine
[Chorus]
Been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Hold my gaze, love, you know I want to let it go
We will stare down at the wonder of it all
And I will hold you in it
And I will hold you in it
[Chorus]
Been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna look you in the eye
'Cause you were all I ever longed for
Been wandering for days
How you felt me slip your mind
Leave behind your wanton ways
I wanna learn to love in kind
'Cause you were all I ever longed for

Ben Lovett on “The Wolf”
“The Wolf” came about halfway through our writing process. We had been kind of working on a bunch of songs […] and “The Wolf” was one that gave us a bit more conviction that we were ready to go. A lot of the album making process was done without the intention of making an a...
