Cat Power - The Werewolf Song lyrics

( michael hurley / live )

Oh the werewolfoh the werewolf

Comes a steppin' along

He don't even break the branches

Where he's been gone

You can hear his long holler from away 'cross the moor

That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feelin' poor

He goes out in the evenin' when the bats 're on the wing

An' he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing

For the werewolffor the werewolf

Have sympathy

'cause the werewolf he is someone

Just like you an' me

Once I saw him in the moonlight when the bats were a flyin'

All alone I saw the werewolf and the werewolf was cryin'

Cryin' nobodynobodynobody knows

How much I love the maiden as I tear off his cloths

Cryin' nobodynobodyknows of my pain

When I see it has risen that full moon again

When I see that moon movin' through the clouds in the sky

I get a crazy feelin' an' I wonder why

Oh the werewolfoh the werewolf

Comes travelin' along

He don't even break the branches

Where he's been gone

For the werewolf have pitynot fearan' not hate

'cause the werewolf might be someone that you've known of late

Oh the werewolfoh the werewolf

Comes travelin' along

He don't even crush the leaves

Where he's been gone
