Winter's a-coming There's snow on the bank The money is frozen Gotta fill up the tank I ain't got far to drive But it's when I come back Wasting days up to midnight Tryin' to find my jack The wind on my window Keeps me up, I think The dreams I make are Starting to shrink The fire is gone Was it here at all? There's no second exit It left by the hall I see Mother Mary On top of the door Of course she carries Her name like a horse She's been going around Looking for the fire Nothing was found Except the shame of desire The air is heavy The walls are thin Don't quit the breathing Just take me in I've been going around Trading fire for fuel I can't afford to sell I've got nothing to duel I don't play with cards I just play with aces If they're not dealt right I won't remember faces You can steal from my pockets You can eat off my bones No heat, no love No direction home (I don't play with cards I just play with aces If they're not dealt right I won't remember faces You can steal from my pockets You can eat off my bones No heat, no love No direction home)
