Steal Your Thunder

This song was inspired by my oldest daughters desire to head off to college in the fall.

Girl From San Francisco (original version)

Still Swingin'

The Wolf I Feed

There's a wolf in my living room
Lounging on the couch I never sit on
Remote in paw flipping through channels
Of memories I pretend don't exist

I've tried to ignore him
But he raids my fridge at night
Leaves muddy paw prints on the linoleum
Trails of my denied wildness scatter
Across the pristine floors of my ego

In the basement of my dreams
His howls echo like forgotten truths
Rage, desire, power, fear
Each note a part I've caged away

Maybe it's time to pull up a chair
Crack open a beer hear what he has to say
After all these shadows are mine to claim
Might as well get acquainted with their teeth

I reach out hand trembling
To touch his fur it's softer than imagined
Like the gentle side of darkness
As my fingers sink in the wolf dissolves
Smoke and shadow seeping through my skin

In the mirror my eyes gleam with wilderness
My smile shows a hint of fang
The remote grows hairs forgotten on the floor
