Watch Fire

[Verse 1: Laura Veirs & (Sufjan Stevens)]
Just beyond the circle of light
(I'll keep the watch, I'll keep the watch fire)
What's in the gloom
And the thorns and the briar?
(I'll keep the watch, I'll keep the watch fire)

[Chorus: Laura Veirs]
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again

[Verse 2: Laura Veirs & (Sufjan Stevens)]
In my dream I ground my jaw
(I'll keep the watch, I'll keep the watch fire)
I'll be your good man outside the law
(I'll keep the watch, I'll keep the watch fire)

[Chorus: Laura Veirs]
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3: Laura Veirs & Sufjan Stevens]
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)

[Chorus: Laura Veirs]
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again

[Chorus: Laura Veirs & Sufjan Stevens]
There's no mistaking the wolf for the wind
He's been here before
And he'll be here again
