about

Somewhere I won the opportunity to have a song remastered so this is it. The song first appeared in my mind as I went home from seeing the film Independence Day. It was a while before it became a wolf, and 'snared' was the word I searched in vain for over days. Once I linked it to the woodcut Les Lupins, which I'd been fascinated by since I found it at the age of 12, the song was easy to write. The wolves, or werewolves, are artists and the moon is inspiration.

lyrics

See - in the woods
In a clearing there stretches a wall
Flaking with ages and claimed
By the gently closing hand of ivy
There we stand
As the moon yellow stains on the night
Howling our prayers to the night
Till our shadows
Overshadow us

Night has you
Silence has you
Memory has you
Conversations overheard
Fantasy has you
Heroes have you
And I will have you

And I intend to be the one, the Wolf Who Snared the Moon

Sleep has you
Waking has you
Chance can have you
The fear of death too soon
Longing has you
Shame has you
And I will have you

And I intend to be the one, the Wolf Who Snared the Moon
