Just beyond the circle of light (I'll keep the watch) (I'll keep the watch fire) What's in the gloom In the thorns and the briar? (I'll keep the watch) (I'll keep the watch fire) There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind He's been here before And he'll be here again In my dream I ground my jaw (I'll keep the watch) (I'll keep the watch fire) I'll be the good man outside the law (I'll keep the watch) (I'll keep the watch fire) There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind He's been here before And he'll be here again Underneath this dome of red (I'll keep the watch) (I'll keep the watch fire) White dog circling overhead (I'll keep the watch) (I'll keep the watch fire) There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind He's been here before And he'll be here again There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind He's been here before And he'll be here again
