[verse 1]
D G
Lo and behold your mother is drinking again.
D G
This might be the coldest winter since records began.
D G
You were a lone moon steady with wintry cold,
D G
Leading the children softly across the fold.
[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]

Em D
But you swear blind, there is no weight in the water pail.
Em D
You say, "My love, you take the cards that you're dealt."
Em D
Cause there's no guiding light arching a line to Bethlehem.
Em D
If it's dark outside you light the fire yourself.
[chorus]
Em
Darlin' when the ice caps melt,
G
When the devil's in the bible belt,
D
Don't cower in your bed.
Em
I'll be on the 5-4-5,
G
You can meet me at the railway line,
D
Don't look so scared.
Bm D
Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk.
Em D
The trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore.
Em D
Oh the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore.
