Wolf At The Gate (Remastered)

[Verse 1] There was a boy by the hill With a grin so sharp and bright He called out loud for help Just to startle folks at night “Wolf!” he cried, then laughed As the lanterns came and ran The village shoes were muddy As they hurried back again [Verse 2] The second time he shouted Same old trick, same old game Hands on his knees, he cackled While the neighbors felt the shame They came with sticks and buckets Faces tight and tired too But the field was empty And the boy just winked at you [Chorus] Liars never win Liars never win Truth comes back again Truth comes back again [Verse 3] Then one cold day at dusk When the sky turned iron gray A real wolf stepped from the trees And the sheep all fled away He rang and rang for help But the road stayed dark and still No boots came on the hillside No voices crossed the hill [Bridge] He looked at every doorway He heard the wind go thin He wished he had one honest word To call his neighbors in [Chorus] Liars never win Liars never win Truth comes back again Truth comes back again [Outro] So listen, little dreamers Keep your promises in sight A true word can be small But it shines in the night
