Lyrics
Find another songThe 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, I 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, would you 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
