lyrics

outside is frozen
why don't come and live where you lay
she screamed out
you bastard
her lover yelled from the lake
I will deceive you
that's why I'm bound to leave
then he left with the log on the fire
the wolves doubled back for what the crows just wouldn't eat
left with a log on the fire

I hold my heart
inside the cuff right along the seam
whispered
discretely
her lover yelled from the stream
you have deceived me
your just a lying thieve
then he left with a hole in his heart
and the wolves doubled back for what the crows just wouldn't eat
left with a hole in his heart


for a time you were looking not where to go
in your breath we were leaving no signs to show
keep alive we were moving by light and all by snow
the tracks to leave are left and gone
and I…

I was amazed that there was not far to go
when you float in the river like you never did talk to god
I'm the bastard you want when you got no one to call
when I came outside there was noway left to run back home
my own…

when the time has surely come I will never know
now we're caught falling on these ghosts
carry me beside the beach where my broken bones will mend
right this lonely carriage in the wind


outside was frozen
i could not live where i once did lay
i''ll confess
completely
for oh this fool I have made
Forgive my daughter
She faltered like her father
I'll leave by the break of the day
and the wolves will double back for it is I that they always craved.
I'll leave by the break of the day...
