I went out with Wolf tonight, I had so many worries on my mind

I was feeling lost, feeling confused, feeling afraid--I wanted to hide

But when I got home after work Wolf would not let me stay inside

So I put on my heavy coat and kerchief and closed the door behind us



I followed Wolf across the road,

he took a trail that leads up through the forest

I saw Wolf's shadow moving through the trees ahead of me

--don't go too fast Wolf

And finally we got to the other side

--it was so still, it was so bright and clear

For there stretched before us

like a ballroom glove in the moonlight lay the snowfields



It was a starry night

And the snow had stopped falling

And I feel that I heard someone singing



Fly us to the moon

High above our upturned faces

Booming in the bright

Send some good things down on this earth tonight



Wolf ran out into the glittering fields

--I stood and watched him from the treeline

The starry heavens danced down on the snow

then up again like gateways gathering

Then somehow I was out there with Wolf

--I stared at him--he looked so different

Oh Wolf I can't stop laughing

but I feel somehow that everything is all right



I don't know how many miles we traced across the snow--maybe a thousand

I followed Wolf in peace and I don't even know if we were breathing

And part of me never went home after that night--I think it stayed there

But it is in good care beneath the stars

above the fields of snow that stretch there
