Talking with the Wolves Lyrics

Simon
You are the model of your age
Don't let the bastards take the stage
They don't love you

And hey
You are a pure light on the waves
Don't let them turn us into slaves
They don't care for you (Like I do)

Love that's given freely
Doesn't die - it only changes
And love that's taken easy
It has to hide
In these exchanges

Glory
Don't get trampled under dust
Don't tell yourself you're out so much
Sometimes words won't be enough

And talking talking with the wolves
You're talking talking
We don't even notice you

Love that's given freely
Doesn't die - it only changes
And love that's taken easy
It has to hide
In these exchanges

Cover art for Talking with the Wolves lyrics by Glen Hansard

Saw him at Latitude Festival this year (an awesome performance, as an aside) and he introduced it along the lines of: This is a song about people seeing everything as a sign and, well, it isn't always. You can talk to the wolves, but they're just looking at you as if you're food! So don't take things so seriously and just ride it out.
