Shepherd's Blood

(zu hören auf "Facing Her Silhouette")

The story of a wolf
Straying through the woods nearby
Is scaring all the people in this town
They entreat me to stay
As if I ever wanted to go away

Shepherd's blood
In my veins
Thin but stronger than ever
Shepherd's blood
Driving me
I will keep my herd together

The stillness of the grass
The bleating of the sheep around
I just couldn't live without that sound
Look across the green plain
I'm on its face on sunny days and in the rain

Shepherd's blood
In my veins
Thin but stronger than ever
Shepherd's blood
Driving me
I will keep my herd together

People are like sheep
Peaceful if just left alone
But sensible to threats and lack of food
Someone has to provide
A place where they can be safe side by side
