| [00:17.64] |
'Lo and behold your mother is drinking again |
| [00:29.49] |
|
| [00:32.69] |
This might be the coldest winter since records began |
| [00:44.06] |
|
| [00:46.60] |
You were alone and steady with wintry calm |
| [00:56.06] |
|
| [01:01.81] |
Leading the children softly across the fold |
| [01:10.40] |
|
| [01:33.15] |
In the morning you march your sisters like soldiers to school |
| [01:47.30] |
'Cause lo and behold your father has drunk quite a few |
| [01:58.14] |
|
| [02:00.20] |
You were alone and steady with wintry calm |
| [02:09.96] |
|
| [02:14.37] |
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark |
| [02:24.34] |
|
| [02:28.54] |
But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail |
| [02:38.84] |
|
| [02:42.95] |
you And say 'my love, you take the cards that you're dealt' |
| [02:54.79] |
|
| [02:56.87] |
There's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem |
| [03:07.50] |
|
| [03:11.78] |
And when it's dark outside, you light the fire yourself |
| [03:23.44] |
|
| [03:26.14] |
Darling when the ice caps melt |
| [03:29.40] |
When the devils in the bible belt |
| [03:32.41] |
Don't you cower in your bed |
| [03:38.82] |
|
| [03:39.76] |
I'll be at the five-four-five |
| [03:40.82] |
|
| [03:42.70] |
You can meet me at the railway line |
| [03:46.15] |
Don't look so staid |
| [03:51.61] |
|
| [03:56.26] |
'Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk |
| [04:01.83] |
|
| [04:09.37] |
And the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore |
| [04:16.78] |
|
| [04:20.77] |
Oh, the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore |
