Howl At The Moon - Indigo Girls

Oh Annie, I am sorry for the grief

Young sister to my lover, I know you both would rather be

On that rough road through the woods of Michigan

Young and free and building something on the land

Where ya howl at the moon

It’ll cost you, but not enough to bring you down

That’s been my lesson, ever since you drove me ‘round

Be a fighter, like the elders who have cried

«Oh Mercy, we will not be satisfied, ‘til we are free

To howl at the moon, one and all.»

‘Til we are free, to howl at the moon, one and all

I found her dancing, but I could not dance along

I found her singing, but I could not sing the song

Being happy was not a promise I could keep

In spite of all that, she has tried to deliver me

So, we are free, to howl at the moon, one and all

Oh Mystery, won’t you please deliver me

From this body of pain, that I give into every day

With my mind and my breath, any fight that I have left

I found myself on the streets of this college town

Yearn for youth, but all I do is limp around

I’m the fool who wants to wear that fickle crown

She says, «Let ‘em have it, let those kids fight to be found!

‘Til they are free to howl at the moon

To fight, ‘til we’re all free to howl at the moon

One and all.»
