[00:-4.00] Dry the River - Bible Belt
[00:-3.00]
[00:-2.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:19.00] 'Lo and behold your mother is drinking again
[00:34.71] This might be the coldest winter since records began
[00:49.60] You were alone and steady with wintry calm
[01:06.80] Leading the children softly across the fold
[01:17.59]
[01:38.39] In the morning you march your sisters like soldiers to school
[01:51.79] 'Cause lo and behold your father has drunk quite a few
[02:04.80] You were alone and steady with wintry calm
[02:17.67] Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark
[02:31.92] But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail
[02:45.73] And you say 'my love, you take the cards that you're dealt'
[02:58.52] There's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem
[03:13.73] And when it's dark outside, you light the fire yourself
[03:24.42]
[03:28.38] Darling when the ice caps melt
[03:32.04] When the devils in the bible belt
[03:35.14] Don't you cower in your bed
[03:37.53]
[03:41.88] I'll be at the five-four-five
[03:44.96] You can meet me at the railway line
[03:48.00] Don't look so staid
[03:52.33]
[03:55.88] 'Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk
[04:09.69] And the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore
[04:19.78] Oh, the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore
[04:31.45]
