The moon was bright, I could see it clear

The night I went underneath the water

Yeah, the moon was bright, I saw it smile

Because I knew we'd soon be together

You lit me up, and you let me down

And then you took my body to the river

I was so young (He was so young)

I had no scars (And had no scars)

I felt the tightness of your clutching fingers

Around my throat, you were singing

Shut your mouth, baby, don't say a word

You are young and beautiful

and you are too good for this world

Shut your mouth, baby, I'm coming to set you free

With a thistle, and a whistle, and a grave I need to dig

And as I flew above the night, I had, oh, so many questions

Why in my youth? (Why in my youth?)

Would you strikе me down? (Strike me down)

Aftеr all, you knew how much I loved you

And he replied with a smile

"I am a wolf, after all, my darling"

Shut your mouth, baby, don't say a word

You are young and beautiful

and you are too good for this world

Shut your mouth, baby, I'm coming to set you free

With a thistle, and a whistle, and a grave I need to dig

Shut your mouth, baby, don't say a word

You are young and beautiful

and you are too good for this world

Shut your mouth, baby, I'm coming to set you free

With a thistle, and a whistle, and a grave I need to dig
