Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wildcat howling in the distant snow If only I could let that go She woke me up one frozen morning And the sky was broken by piercing light And now her body lies in the snow If only I could let that go [Chorus] But I'm older now, I see her all around The most haunted laugh, your face on a photograph [Verse 2] Kronstadt sailing for the golden town The inexorable sea ice drowns And how could I have asked for more?, I hear them cry Men like us were built for war, and so was I Wildcat howling in the distant snow If only I could let that go [Chorus] But I'm older now, I see her all around The most haunted laugh, your face on a photograph Tell me those tailored lies and slip on that cold disguise I see her wrapped in furs, calling me in that way of hers The thought weighs me down, I need her to take me out The golden town is lost to statues in the frost The wildcat moan won't leave me the fuck alone She haunts me now [Verse 3] Wildcat howling in the distant snow If only I could let that go I won't come back to her until The golden streets are deathly still And all those bodies lie in the snow If only I could let that go
