lyrics
The winter that’s coming will be a hard one,
and she don’t wanna sing that Christmas song to him again.
If she’s the glue, the roof will fall through;
that acorn winter’s just around the bend.
She left that burner on too long
And I can’t open my eyes
in this room, in this house
where trouble sings its lies.
When the bottom drops out, which way is down and who draws the lines in the street? Through the dark red lining in your silver cloud: a black stain on your heart of gold. It rains like bullets and just as loud; she don’t know, she don’t know, she don’t know.
That oak tree fell straight down, pushed around by the storm.
Fleet of foot in a red nightgown; tip toe across the floor.
Back full of scars, splinters in my heart,
sirens sing a song of desire.
Trace the backbone sky, the rooster cries:
out of dark, out of time.
When the bottom drops out, which way is down and who draws the lines in the street? Through the dark red lining in your silver cloud: a black stain on your heart of gold. It rains like bullets and just as loud; she don’t know, she don’t know, she don’t know.
The crops have been cut down; the fields lay exposed.
Now I can see, now I can see the road.
If I’m the glue, the roof will fall through.
That acorn winter’s creeping into you.
When the bottom drops out, which way is down and who draws the lines in the street? Through the dark red lining in your silver cloud: a black stain on your heart of gold. It rains like bullets and just as loud; she don’t know, she don’t know, she don’t know.
