Default Original Composition - When Wolves Bay at the Moon

A song I have had around...about thoughts I had when my son, now home, was deployed to Afghanistan...and perhaps relevant to Oklahoma's tornado situation...

https://soundcloud.com/karlpk/when-w...ay-at-the-moon

Simple song, Capo 2nd fret

Amin hammered with Cadd for the first two verse lines,
Fmaj7, G, Amin for the next two lines

Instrumental bridge - C, G, C, GaddC, C, G, E, walkup to Amin, back to Amin hammer on

Lyrics

Do you try and find all the answers here
Take a look around there’s nothing left to fear
Bodies moving flying walking rumbling thru the years
Creating havoc, kindness, passion, a useless vale of tears
When wolves bay at the moon do they feel mortality?
Just go your way, don’t ask why
I walk thru the backyard, I’m heading for my car
I turn around, a thunderstorm is coming from afar
Soliders strap their helmets on sunglasses shield their eyes
As they walk the dusty paths the natives tell them lies
When wolves bay at the moon do they feel mortality?
Just go your way, don’t ask why
How strange the mind will wander, how weird the memories
They flash by in an instant, where did I put my keys
Somewhere on the highway the rain is pelting down
And as they walk the soldier paths the heat is bearing down
When wolves bay at the moon do they feel mortality?
Just go your way, don’t ask why
