Lyrics:
Bring in the light wood, the sun is all dry The matchbox whistler is all cheeks and smiles From a walk in the snow with smoke in the sky. Hand over hand with ears in the wool Quick, close the door 'cause the winter is cruel I saved your life once, now don't you be a fool. Remember the ashes Remember the black Remember the oak walking stick in your back Remember the knife and the blue steel stars He ran away cold and left you at the bar. The oven is hot and your supper if free So take off your boots and I'll put on the tea 'Cause it's no easy hike through those city streets. Hat on the nail, the old dusty black Is saved for your brother if he ever comes back But he's gone, and he's gone down his lonely track. Remember the cold, the snow, and the moon The crowds inside with liquor in their tune Remember his breath and the hatred it kept He ran away cold and left you on the step. Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you. He'd wait in the trees as a boy yea high With peace and quiet as a cloud in the sky And he'd wait for the sparrows until the sun was dry. Remember the dark, remember the light The cold of the snow, the heat of the flight I remember it all and I'm really quiet sure He ran away cold and left you at the door. Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you Now watch him run from you, run from you, run from you. Bring in the light wood, the sun is all dry Whistle a tune as you light up the fire 'Cause the snow's on the ground And the smoke's in the sky.
