 Lo and  behold your mother is  drinking again.
 This might  be the coldest winter since  records began.
 You were  a lone moon steady with wintry cold,
 Leading  the children softly across the fold.
 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.
 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.
 Darlin'  when the ice caps melt,
 When the devil's in the bible  belt,
 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.
 Cause  we've been through worse than this before we could talk.
 The  trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore.
 Oh the trick  of it is, don't be afraid anymore.

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.

B[Em]ut you swear blind, there is no weight in the wat[D]er pail.
Y[Em]ou say, "My love, you take the cards that you're [D]dealt."
C[Em]ause there's no guiding light arching a line to B[D]ethlehem.
I[Em]f it's dark outside you light the fire your[D]self.

D[Em]arlin' when the ice caps melt,
When the devil's in the bi[G]ble belt,
Don't cower in your b[D]ed.
I'll be on the 5[Em]-4-5,
You can meet me at the rai[G]lway line,
Don't look so sc[D]ared.

C[Bm]ause we've been through worse than this before we could t[D]alk.
T[Em]he trick of it is, don't be afraid any[D]more.
Oh the t[Em]rick of it is, don't be afraid an[D]ymore.
