I was praying' today that I was a wolf
And I was a long, long way from home
You asked for a tree whose roots wouldn't grow
So I drag my feet heavy across your floor


I'll ride you down
Stompin' the earth
Bitter in doubt
But we'll make it work


Your voice was still as a mountain, below
Echoin' church bells was my approach
Red colored hand by the side of the road
I'd rather be lonely than on my own


I'll ride you down
Breakin' the earth
Bitter in doubt
What's your love worth

I was hopin' today that I'd dig a hole
With hands on your knees, you watch me work
Down in the ground, it's empty and cold
I'm burying secrets I haven't told

I'll ride you down
Breakin' the earth
Bitter in doubt
But we'll make it work

I was prayin' today I was a wolf
And I was a long, long way from home
