Walk Out to Winter

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

Chill will wake you, high and dry

You wonder why

Met in the summer, and walked till the fall

And breathless we talked, in tongues

Despite what they'll say, it wasn't youth, we'd hit the truth

The faces of Strummer that fell from your wall

And nothin' was left where they hung

So sweet and bitter, they're what we found

So drink them down and

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

Chill will wake you, high and dry

You wonder why

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

Chance is buried just below the blinding snow

You burn in the breadline, in ribbons and all

So walk to winter, you won't be late, she'll always wait

This generation, they walk to the wall

But I'm not angry, get your gear, get out of here, and

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

Chill will wake you, high and dry

You wonder why

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

Chance is buried just below the blinding snow

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

Chill will wake you, high and dry

You wonder why

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there

You'll find snow-blind, this is life, this is life
