Life is swallowed up

It's sitting deep in the belly of winter

We all walk round and over and over our shoulder

The stinging glance of winters face

The frost hydrates

The rusty shapes of an old crippled Ford

Thats the car we don't drive no more

Trees just stripped to the bones

By the same rain that washes what it names of home-made graves

It's demolition time when it rains

Powers gone out so we can start a fire

Too many storms that rocks like the wars, outside

But then the stop drop in rocks from the mountain side

Too many storms that rocks like the wars, outside

Wake me up, in the summer not in the winter

With hail as the nails to hold down the floor boards

I hear the wind roar

All the way though December

The Wind as the choir

The snows getting higher

The house is on fire

And I'm still cold inside

We only talk about the weather

Stormy days we just complain

While outside its looking better

Its inside we stand out in the rain

Stand out in the rain

It's just a thunderstorm

Baby there's nothing you should fear

The sky is broken

Raindrops on my window pane

Like music to my ears

It's wide open

If the clouds turn brighter days

Into a more minor refrain its still a song

We can stand out in this storm

And fill this bottle full of rain and sing along

And sing along
