Winter has me by the throat But spring is gonna come soon I'll be drenched to the bone In the warm rains of may and june O little one When the war is done Then i'm gonna come running back to you See my breath in the cold In the light of a half moon I never knew that what i didn't know could kill me I never knew that what i didn't know could kill me The hymns they sing And the prayers they pray And the words they say Ain't never gonna make it right See me run from the flame The world is scorched and dry tonight O little one When the war is done Then i'm gonna come running back to you With my back to the sun Fall asleep and dfream til noon I never knew that what i didn't know could kill me I never knew that what i didn't know could kill me
