Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Holy light, oh, burn the night, oh keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow, child of wolf
Keep holdin' on
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.
Wolf mother, where you been?
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taken, devil's maker
Let me hear you say, hey ya hey ya
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Wayward winds, the voice that sings of a forgotten land
See it fall, child of wolf
Lend a mending hand
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.
You look so worn, so thin
You're a taker, devil's maker
Let me hear you sing, hey ya hey ya
Wolf father, at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter, shapeshifter
Let me see you run, hey ya hey ya
Holy light, oh, burn the night, oh keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow, child of wolf
Keep holdin' on
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set, trees were dead and the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound, there was only me and my disgrace
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Hey
Hey, Hey-Hey, Hey, Ya.

La copertina del singolo e pure dell’album “The Lion's Roar” citano esplicitamente quella di “Silly Sisters”, il disco di Maddy Prior e June Tabor datato 1976:

Un interessantissimo progetto di studio dei lupi sull'Appennino rischia di essere interrotto in Toscana perché vaste parti del territorio demaniale saranno acquistate e recintate dal cravattaio di lusso Stefano Ricci. Consiglio a tutti intanto di passare una notte da lupi al Rifugio Diacci.

Scritta da Klara e Johanna Söderberg.
Singolo poi incluso in alcune edizioni dell’album intitolato “The Lion's Roar” pubblicato nel 2012.
Dopo l’esordio con una cover dei Fleet Foxes ed “Emmylou”, il loro manifesto artistico esplicitamente dedicato ad Emmylou Harris, June Tabor, Gram Parsons e Johnny Cash, le due sorelle svedesi Klara e Johanna – due vere streguzze, vero Adriana? – sono ormai molto famose, e se lo meritano.
Questa “Wolf” è emblematica del mondo fantastico in cui le First Aid Kit si muovono, come due “Alice in Wonderland” – il videoclip fu girato nel profondo della foresta di Järvsö, Hälsingland, nel Norrland svedese – ma è anche una denuncia della distruzione del pianeta che l’essere umano sta conducendo e della necessità che l’uomo riscopra l’animale naturale che è in lui, proprio per arginare l’autodistruzione in atto…
Per i percorsi “Lupi contro la Guerra” e “Guerra alla Terra”.
