Huge thanks to my beta, Antonia East, and to K8 and Sannali and Fernwithy for the inspiration.

(Loosely sung to the Eagles' Desperado) - by Kelleypen
As performed by Tonks of Kate Kinsel and the Fellytones

As the moon wanes
He slowly returns to his senses,
Overwhelmed with such sadness
And new scars.

He cries for freedom
From the dark curse that binds him,
And the beast that defines him
In their eyes.

Don't fall in love with a werewolf;
He'll break your heart each time.
He'll push you away in the light of day
To save you from the night.

As the moon glows
He anxiously marks it growing,
Counting each chained day
Before his hell.

He cries for freedom
From the cold orb that binds him
And the beast that defines him
And keeps him alone.

Don't fall in love with a werewolf;
He'll break your heart each time.
He'll push you away in the light of day
To save you from the night.

He won't let somebody love him,
But he must let somebody love him,
Before life passes by.
