[verse 1]
Lo anCd behold your mother Cis drinking again.
This Cmight be the coldest winter sCince records began.
You wCere a lone moon steady with wintry cCold,
LeadiCng the children softly across the foCld.
[verse 2 - same]
Each morning you'd march your sisters like soldiers to school,
Cause lo and behold your father had drunk all the fuel.
You are a lone moon steady with wintry cold,
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark.
[bridge]
BAmut you swear blind, there is no weight in the watCer pail.
YAmou say, "My love, you take the cards that yoCu're dealt."
CAmause there's no guiding light arching a line to BCethlehem.
IAmf it's dark outside you light the fire yourCself.
[chorus]
DAmarlin' when the ice caps melt,
When the devil's in the biCble belt,
Don't cower in your bCed.
I'll be on the 5Am-4-5,
You can meet me at the raiClway line,
Don't look so scCared.
CEmause we've been through worse than this before we could tCalk.
TAmhe trick of it is, don't be afraid anyCmore.
Oh the tAmrick of it is, don't be afraid anCymore.
