Sandro Perri Wolfman
Today I saw you, big as the ocean
Yesterday I was sure I'd forgotten how to swim
I jumped right in you covered me like a lotion
Yesterday I was sure I was losing my skin
The sting of salt, the thrill of devotion
That's the one I trust, incoming forward motion
I wanna come to you, I wanna come
Really now, what else, what else is to be done
Today out on the beach I saw the Wolfman
He was alone, he looked tired
He could see he reminded me the way love pretends to expire
And so instead of tearing me up he invited me for a swim, his eyes full of fire
And then even the Wolfman you can see, he aspires to take it higher
I wanna come to you, I wanna come
Really now, what else, what else is to be done
Once in a while, he turned and said, I wanna shave my face, my body and my head
I asked him why and then the well ran dry, so I zoomed in for a look
What did I see, what did I see
Clouds and sunshine and joy and pain
So I zoomed, zoomed zoomed in again, and what did I see, and what did I see
All that which seems to be erasing me, I can choose to learn again
Wolfman to I, said I don't give up myself too easily, I am just tired, now go away
He started crying, wolf, that is the oldest line
Wolf, man, and I we are the same
Sometimes I've tried, the one about a wolf amongst wolves by my side – one with which I have got a way
Now I know why, the one about a wolf amongst wolves makes me cry
What does a dark night rearrange
What does a night light do to change
I wanna come to you, I wanna come
Really now, what else, what else is to be done
Today I see you, big as the ocean
