lyrics

WOLVES BELOW
Winter of 1959
Up Brantford way, out in the pines
For the CPT, with a real cold night ahead of me
Way up a pole repairing frost-broken lines (and I)

I thought I heard something out there
A sense of dread was in the air
Aimed the lamp on my hat
Couldn’t see too far – they ain’t built for that
Then time stood still, found myself locked in their stare (there’s)

- Chorus -
Wolves below in the dead of night
Unnerving choice of fight or flight
One deep breath as these problems compound
We’ll find out how it goes when I get to the ground

Hours go by, my body’s weak
These arms can’t hold, my ankles creak
A useless search of my vest
My spurs, a wrench, a hammer at best
Should I run for it and pay the bite, so to speak? (So I)

I called it in to Toronto (because)
My wife and daughter have to know
I love them both so much
Leave out the teeth and eyes, and such
The ones waiting hungrily
Just wanna get home

- Chorus -

With no way to hang on for another minute more
Just had to convince myself I got to – gotta get down and go

Well, I looked at them and they looked at me
My truck a mile away, easily
So I dropped down and ran for my life although
Slowed down by my gear and the swamp and snow
Found my stride, found my way
Didn’t look back, kept them at bay
Slammed the door and exhaled

- Chorus repeat x2, outro -
