(Intro)
Verso:
'Lo and behold your mother is drinking again
This might be the coldest winter since records began
You were alone and steady with wintry calm
Leading the children softly across the fold
(Intro)
Each morning you march your sisters like soldiers to school
'Cause lo and behold your father has drunk quite a few
You were alone and steady with wintry calm
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark
Em D
But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail
Em D
You say 'my love, you take the cards that you're dealt'
Em D
Cause there's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem
Em D
If it's dark outside, you light the fire yourself
G
Darling when the ice caps melt
G
When the devils in the bible belt
G D
Don't you cower in your bed
G
You can meet me at the railway line
G D
Don't look so scared
Em D
'Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk
G D
And the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore
Em D
Oh, the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore
