Just beyond the circle of light
(I'll keep the watch)
(I'll keep the watch fire)
What's in the gloom
In the thorns and the briar?
(I'll keep the watch)
(I'll keep the watch fire)
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again
In my dream I ground my jaw
(I'll keep the watch)
(I'll keep the watch fire)
I'll be the good man outside the law
(I'll keep the watch)
(I'll keep the watch fire)
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again
Underneath this dome of red
(I'll keep the watch)
(I'll keep the watch fire)
White dog circling overhead
(I'll keep the watch)
(I'll keep the watch fire)
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again
