Lo and behold your mother is drinking again.
This might be the coldest winter
since records began.
You were a low moon steady with wintry calm.
Leading the children softly across the farm.
(...Instrumental break / Bible Belt...)
Each morning you`d march your sisters
like soldiers to school.
Cause lo and behold your father
had drunk all the fuel.
You were a low moon, steady with wintry calm.
Somewhere inside the fire
of your youth went dark.
But you swear blind
there is no weight in the water pail.
You say My love
you take the cards that you`re dealt.
Cause there`s no guiding light
arching a line to Bethlehem.
If it`s dark outside
you light the fire yourself.
Darling when the ice caps melt
When the devil`s in the bible belt
Don`t cower in your bed.
I`ll be on the 545
You can meet me at the railway line
And don`t look so scared.
Cause we`ve been through worse than this
before we could talk.
The trick of it is don`t be afraid any more.
All the trick of it is
don`t be afraid any more.
