And would she have wanted
This for you?
And what about the bairn
In your arms?
And now,
My solitude
In this cold and empty house
I'm wandering through
My fingers draw
On frozen walls
And all alone
I call out to you
But there's a storm in my throat
And I've got a mind of my own
And a fight
In my coat pocket
It was all for you
It's all for you
Oh, you silly goose
I know you better
Then you want me to
My fingers run
Down this icy corridor
And I know
Just what I'm fighting for
A deck of cards
That fell at your feet
Left you smoldering
Left you cowering
Left you hiding
In seven veils of bed sheets
You wrap around
Your fragile heart
But this storm in my throat
Gave you a mind of it's own
And good Lord, that was quite the hocket
But it was true
And that's the truth
There's no more brandy
In the pantry
And my heavens, I've got a mouth on me
And it's more
Than just my bone that's broken
And that's the truth
That's the truth
I call out to you,
You big ol' goof
And that's the truth
It was all for you
