I threw the bones in the fire when I knew the flesh was bitter.
I read the message in the flames along the Two-hearted River.
It said the dogs are coming fast, and their running from the storm,
and they'd love to taste your blood just to keep them warm.
Well I whispered to myself, should I stay or should I go?
I looked across the river. I saw hungry eyes aglow.
I said, "Hey there, wolf, you look gorgeous and ghastly."
And she started cackling while the fire was crackling.
So I took a burning ember, and I through it in her eye.
That's when the river took us both, and I knew it was alive.
