| [Verse 1] | |
| The sun was going down | |
| Shadows lengthened on the ground | |
| Snow fell silently and deep | |
| Blanketing the empty streets | |
| In a fragile way, couldn't face another day | |
| In need of love and care, broken, under repair | |
| [Verse 2] | |
| I'm the quicksands of despair | |
| In the desert of unfair | |
| You found me drowning there | |
| Caught my glance of do not care | |
| You took me to your bed, laid your hands upon my head | |
| Said, "Sleep now have no fear, you are safe for I am here." | |
| [Instrumental] | |
| [Verse 3] | |
| We'd talked the night away, into another day | |
| In the morning, you were gone, now every moment seems too long | |
| My thoughts went round and round, impossible to sleep | |
| I started burning bridges, when I gave up counting sheep | |
| [Outro] | |
| An asbestos chimney, can shorten your life |
