"Stealth" by Wolf Kier copyright wolf kier 2012-2013-2022 Yeah, stealth in the night Creep like a thief please hand me the light and pass me my gloves I can't imagine anything more sensual than a night on the roof with you I've never seen anything more beautiful than the way the moon shines on that catsuit Nothing more lyrical Nothing more poetic Emphasis added Excuse me for drooling But you look so beautiful Let's commit a crime I can't imagine anything more sensual than a night on the roof with you I've never seen anything more beautiful than the way the moon shines on that catsuit Girl you got some stealth to you Girl you got some moves to you Girl I love to steal with you. Our bed made of money Our house made of straw If the cops they come calling it's because we made a fool of the law Shhhhhh..... I can't imagine anything more sensual than a night on the roof with you I've never seen anything more beautiful than the way the moon shines on that catsuit, yeah I can't imagine anything more sensual than a night on the roof with you I've never seen anything more beautiful than the way the moon shines on that catsuit, yeah!

No Kiss Happens Twice (El Segundo Knows) by Wolf Kier Copyright Wolf Kier 2015 2022 El Segundo knows But a city doesn't care So a hotel near the airport is as good a place as any as good a place to fall Can you taste the tears The tears I've shed for you? No kiss happens twice and that kiss of yours that night it said, "goodbye" El Segundo knows but a city can not tell when the lure of distant skies meets the fever in your eyes it's time to fly. Can you taste the tears The tears I've shed for you? No kiss happens twice and that kiss of yours that night said, "goodbye" El Segundo sleeps with my secret safe and sound As I buckle in to fly I wish you happy skies but I wish it wasn't so Can you taste the tears The tears I've shed for you? No kiss happens twice and that kiss of yours that night it said, "goodbye" No kiss happens twice El Segundo knows A city knows that no kiss happens twice +++++++++++++++++++++

Down By The Ferry Dock 02:57

"Down By The Ferry Dock" by wolf kier copyright wolf kier 2012-2013-2022 wk0653 In a hotel parking lot, down by the ferry dock the reveries are interrupted only briefly as their children bring them dinner and necessities of trade Back at home the chores pile up like stumbling blocks time presuming, time consuming and the baby sitter shines a beacon in the corner teaching sugar bread ambitions through endless summer nights. Down by the ferry dock The summer bakes it's leaven bread That's broken at no table For if a mamma is to pay the rent then clearly she's unable to return home at a whim to a home that has no him and surely will not have one for a long time. Back at home the chores pile up like stumbling blocks time presuming, time consuming Television - which we really can't afford to keep connected Shows us sparkling pictures daily of what a mother really ought to be The heat is bad for business It draws customers away and parched throats and hungry eyes chew on food that tastes like sawdust laced with pork, gasoline and rolled in dust as their hazy prospect rust Back at home the chores pile up like stumbling blocks time presuming, time consuming and the baby sitter shines a beacon in the corner teaching sugar bread ambitions through endless summer nights. through endless summer nights in the hotel parking lot down by the ferry dock in town. +++ Godspeed on your journey, Wolf

The Night Has Its Price 02:48

"The Night Has It's Price" by Wolf Kier copyright 2010 2012 2013 2022 The night has its price it calls at the dead and brings them back to life This dream is insane It won't go away It haunts me each night I think of the love lost and the pain that I gained the mounting regret that I won't see you again Deep in the night fossils in black stone stars fail to light the ghosts in the shadows Yes, the night, the night has its price Hard to ask The moon only hides and there's no reply to the pleas that I scream It's sad to think it's hard to guess it's true, it's true I'll never see you again. The night has it's price it calls back to life your memory the night has its price The night has it's price its eyes watch with callous indifference those who beg for small mercies all those who are left behind The night has its price a price I must pay every day that my heart is torn apart by the truth that the dead can't remain in the same realm as I The night has its price. +++++++++++++++++

"Find Out For Yourself" by Wolf Kier Copyright 2014-2015-2022 Wolf Kier Mind your manners, baby, This ain't Redemption Cove You got feelings that you're dealing with and an attitude like that just leaves me cold (Don't leave me Cold) And I won't tell you just yet, You'll find out for yourself That the world is full of smoke and mirrors, and crazy places and smiling faces that'll take you for a ride, and spit you out the other side and bring you home the lover that I need you to be (interlude) The fear's not well disguised behind the anger in your eyes and trust can never prosper in a place that's filled with lies (Don't tell me lies) And if you need to go, then... Godspeed If you need to go, then... Godspeed Godspeed your loving back to me..... ah! oh! (solo) Godspeed on your journey, Be all you wanna be Bring news back from the ice land and come back to rest with me (Come rest with me) And I won't tell you just yet I'll let you find out for yourself that the world is full smoke and mirrors and of smiling faces and crazy places that'll take you for a ride and spit you out the other side and bring you home the lover that I need you to be.... Bring you home to me Bring you home to me e e e ..... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Strangers Again by Wolf Kier Copyright Wolf Kier 2011 2015 2022 You don't have to tell me, I know All the little places I could go In a town that's full of memories of you and I How can we be strangers again? In a city full of friends, Is it possible for you and I to be strangers once again? No one gotta tell me, I see There's another man replacing me In a town this size, even a man who's blind could see. In a city full of friends, Is it possible for You and I to be strangers once again. In a city full of friends, Is it possible for you and I to be strangers once again? Love's limits crossed and stop lights run Everywhere I turn I see a memory of when You and I were one. Love's limits crossed and stop lights run Everywhere I turn I see that memory, that memory, that memory again.

Love Gone South -by Wolf Kier Copyright 2018 - 2022 Wolf Kier All of your friends say you left on a train headed south (I don't believe) That you took the easy way out of our love That you ran away on a train headed south My love gone south... I stand at the station and gaze down the track A tear in my eye and the wind at my back I'll find my love Yeah, I'll walk that track I'll find my love Yeah, I'll win her back My love gone south... I stand on the banks of the old Rio Grande My heart on my sleeve and a gun in my hand I'll find my love My love gone south I'll find my love I'll bring her home My love gone south... All of your friends say it's true... I can't believe

"Standby, It's Time" by Wolf Kier copyright Wolf Kier 2013 2022 When fear makes you pull the trigger Makes you .38 caliber bigger then standby, standby, it's time She never wanted no one else but you couldn't even trust yourself to break down and cry You couldn't even find the time to crawl out of your mind and find the love around you you couldn't even try. Round here time is measured in miles and the good idea girl says to the birthday boy, "Don't leave me behind". Don't leave me behind And a bullet won't get you to where a diamond ring will take ya... It's time watch it fly across the sky slow mo, it goes, he dies Round here time is measured in miles (standby, standby, it's time.) and the good idea girl says to the birthday boy, "Don't leave me behind".

BURY MARY by Wolf Kier Copyright 2020-2022 I been on a night train I been on a ship at sea I been on a jet plane I asked this girl to marry me Now Heathrow lays behind me In case I need to turn around And for the first time in a decade I'm on a train to London town All those mornings that I'd wait For your face to animate And your eyes to come alive And your lips to form a smile And the world would start to turn As the sun came through the blinds And we lay there just a while ANd we'd dream with open eyes Bring back those times And Jesus stands beside me But I'm much to sad to see Cos I've come to bury Mary Who I was sure would bury me I couldn't have imagined this I had no early warning Someone bring me my disguise I'll play the part by mourning I'll look into her father's eyes And maybe let him realize That Mary didn't have to die That Mary didn't have to die All those mornings that I'd wait For your face to animate And your eyes to come alive And your lips to form a smile Bring back those times And Jesus stands beside me But I'm much to sad to see Cos I've come to bury Mary Who I was sure would bury me Cover art is public domain via flikr @internetarchivebookimages: https://www.flickr.com/photos/internetarchivebookimages/18114142656/

Eyes Can't See by Wolf Kier Copyright Wolf Kier 2015 2022 Hold me close, this scant hope Love only binds with magicians' rope Bring me needles, help me sew Hold me close, don't let me go My eyes can't see so far ahead So trust will need to do instead No more faith, to keep me warm I can't promise a happy storm Eyes can't see, what hearts don't no No more faith, but don't let go Eyes can't see, so far ahead Shipwrecked sailors, lost and dead Magicians' ropes, let knots unfold Hold me close, don't let go. My eyes can't see so far ahead So trust will need to do instead. My eyes can't see so far ahead..... ********************************** From the album: The Night Has Its Price https://wolfkier.bandcamp.com/album/the-night-has-its-price From the WK100 collection: https://wolfkier.bandcamp.com/album/wolf-kier-wk100-demos

Ran Out of Steam by Wolf Kier copyright 2014 2022 Wolf Kier They say there's trouble in this town There's people killin' people screaming They say they'll shut this city down They say it, they say it ran out of steam They say it ran out of steam There's people hiding in their homes Too scared to come out alone Children never see light of day Too poor to run and too scared to stay Ran out of steam Oh the money comes And oh the money goes but goodnes knows it didn't go to teach or cure the poor or stop the sidewalk war this town it ran out of steam The police man can't clean it up The day is gone when you could buy his love The city mayor is nowhere to be seen God knows this city, it ran out of steam Too poor to leave and too scared to stay It's fight or flight Ran out of steam Too poor to leave And too scared to stay And too scared to scream You might be seen. It ran out of steam It ran out of steam
