[Verse 1]
Lo anDd behold your mother Gis drinking again.
This Dmight be the coldest winter sGince records began.
You wDere a lone moon steady with wintry cGold,
LeadiDng the children softly across the foGld.
[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]
BEmut you swear blind, there is no weight in the watDer pail.
YEmou say, "My love, you take the cards that you're Ddealt."
CEmause there's no guiding light arching a line to BDethlehem.
IEmf it's dark outside you light the fire yourDself.
[Chorus]
DEmarlin' when the ice caps melt,
When the devil's in the biGble belt,
Don't cower in your bDed.
I'll be on the 5Em-4-5,
You can meet me at the raiGlway line,
Don't look so scDared.
CBmause we've been through worse than this before we could tDalk.
TEmhe trick of it is, don't be afraid anyDmore.
Oh the tEmrick of it is, don't be afraid anDymore.

Leading the children softly across the fold.

Darlin' when the ice caps melt,

Don't cower in your bed.

I'll be on the 5-4-5,

You can meet me at the railway line,

Don't look so scared.

Oh the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore.
