We slit our throats and dreamed
But when the building's burned
Was there some concerned
Mother laid in bed
What was it she said?
Gather all your worldly jewels
And scatter them like fools
Don't you make a fuss
Days so perilous
When day is done we'll ride
Who cares what we find
Another misspent night
We thought we got it right
The driver lost a wheel
The ice turned into steel
They shivered like refugees
Way down on our knees
By the dried up stream
We slit our throats and dreamed
But when the building's burned
Was there some concerned
Mother laid in bed
By the dried up stream We slit our throats and dreamed But when the building's burned Was there some concerned Mother laid in bed What was it she said? Gather all your worldly jewels And scatter them like fools Don't you make a fuss Days so perilous When day is done we'll ride Who cares what we find Another misspent night We thought we got it right The driver lost a wheel The ice turned into steel They shivered like refugees Way down on our knees By the dried up stream We slit our throats and dreamed But when the building's burned Was there some concerned Mother laid in bed Explain Request ×
