Gentle Beast - Milagres

Loved a girl when I was twelve

From a book everythings in

To wide rule, pages in pen

And I saved each note

In an old box

So one day I could read them again

But I’ll never feel the way that I felt

It’s like the wolves howl out at the wind

They know there’s nothing to kill

And no mate to win

And when the snow comes

The beast puts himself to bed

People here keep me afraid

I’ll never say what I should say

Not in this paved up ghetto yard

All chicken boned, subway cars

She saved my teeth

In a glass jar

One day I will see you again

But I’ll never feel the way that I felt

It’s like the wolves howl out at the wind

They know there’s nothing to kill

And no mate to win

And when the snow comes

The beast puts himself to bed
