This red haired girl of mine Tore a pinecone from the pine to cut into her palm Sing the song her sinking lover sung I shut my eyes ripped the train from off the line But a sudden gust of snow blew through a hole in my girl's clothes Well my girl knows she's not all right and I don't mind Just give me time just give me time oh baby baby give me time Her stinging eyes And her sixteen hour drive and our shared transparent rope And our icy dive through hope I'll memorize and I'll cut into my mind I can't believe it can be so I won't believe that my girl froze well my girl knows I'm coiled tight and green inside Just give me time just give me time oh baby baby give me time And that weight you hold it's getting light And love I know you'll raise it easily up high Just give it time just give it time Baby Just give it time Oh baby just give it time just give it time Just give it time just give it time Just give it time just give it time Just give it time just give it time
