Lyrics
I worked in the fields all day
I spent the day working in the fields.
I came down here to get my pay
I came here to receive my payment.
And while I was walking and
While I was walking,
While you were talking
While you were talking,
I saw something that I must say
I observed something significant that I need to share.
There's a wolf that is loose in these fields
There's a dangerous situation unfolding in the fields, symbolized by a wolf.
I saw it come down from the hills
I witnessed the wolf descending from the hills.
And while you've been lying back
While you've been idle or complacent,
While you've been getting fat
While you've been gaining weight,
Wolf's coming in for the kill
The wolf is approaching, ready to attack.
I came from the mountain pass
I came through the mountain pass.
I travelled through fields of grass
I journeyed across fields of grass.
I bring you a warning
I bring a warning to everyone.
Red sky in the morning
A red sky in the morning indicates imminent danger.
Means danger has come at last
This warning is a sign that danger has finally arrived.
I believe what my eyes can see
I trust what I see with my own eyes.
And I know whats in front of me
I am aware of the reality before me.
And by firelight I witnessed a sight
By the light of a fire, I witnessed a distressing scene.
Cry Wolf
A call to attention or a warning: "Cry Wolf."
Woe unto thee
A lament or expression of sorrow for those who ignore the warning.
