Shiver
The truth is dark under your eyelids
What are you going to do about it?
The birds are silent, there's no one to ask
All day long you're squinting at the gray sky
When the wind blows, you'll shiver like straw
You'll shiver like straw
A meek little lamb, you grew your wool
Till they came after you with huge shears
Flies hovered over your open mouth
Then they, too, flew off like the leaves
The bare branches reached after them in vain
The truth is dark under your eyelids
What are you going to do about it?
The birds are silent, there's no one to ask
All day long you'll squint at the gray sky
When the wind blows, you'll shiver like straw
You'll shiver like straw
Winter coming
Like the last heroic soldier, you'll stay at your post
Head bared to the first snow flake
Till a neighbor comes to yell at you
You're crazier than the weather, Charlie
You're crazier than the weather, Charlie
Shiver like-
The truth is dark under your eyelids
What are you going to do about it?
The birds are silent, there's no one to ask
All day long you'll squint at the gray sky
When the wind blows you'll shiver like straw
You'll shiver like straw
What are you going to do about it?
The birds are silent, there's no one to ask
All day long you're squinting at the gray sky
When the wind blows, you'll shiver like straw
You'll shiver like straw
A meek little lamb, you grew your wool
Till they came after you with huge shears
Flies hovered over your open mouth
Then they, too, flew off like the leaves
The bare branches reached after them in vain
The truth is dark under your eyelids
What are you going to do about it?
The birds are silent, there's no one to ask
All day long you'll squint at the gray sky
When the wind blows, you'll shiver like straw
You'll shiver like straw
Winter coming
Like the last heroic soldier, you'll stay at your post
Head bared to the first snow flake
Till a neighbor comes to yell at you
You're crazier than the weather, Charlie
You're crazier than the weather, Charlie
Shiver like-
The truth is dark under your eyelids
What are you going to do about it?
The birds are silent, there's no one to ask
All day long you'll squint at the gray sky
When the wind blows you'll shiver like straw
You'll shiver like straw
