lyrics

The Wolf (Bottle/Darke)

<Saturn comes into view>

All through the week our ingredients happened to grow
Foraging them an experience, so off we go
A pencil, non-stop lead,
a sticky jar lid, crochet thread,
Soggy paper that might have had the meaning of life written on it

Just mix them up, each gram and cup

The wolf is in my heart and I will Bake him sweet bread
And make a start to fill what cannot be said...
But only felt through care and sharing the path...
Of what we are now Lupinus is by our hearth

Here is an everyday monolith
What is it for?
Is there a way we can honour it?
Open the drawer:
some pre-boiled cowrie shells,
an unthought random act of kindness
Mammoths from some melted time; all ingredients of liquid

So much to do, we muddle through
The wolf is in my heart
and I will bake him sweet bread
And make a start to fill what cannot be said
But only felt through care and sharing the path...
Of where we are now Lupinus is by our hearth

<Lupinus dreams...the fire rages...we are Baked>

The wolf is in my heart
and will Bake him sweet bread
And make a start to fill what cannot be said
But only felt through care and sharing the path
Of who we are now Lupinus is by our hearth

The veil is thin now and we cannot change the past
But there’s no reason that the future can’t be cast
We are the Sequins and the Icing on the Cake
And trust the wolf in us accepts this humble Bake
