Walk Out To Winter

(album: High Land, Hard Rain - 1983)

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
Chill will wake you, high and dry
You'll wonder why

We met in the summer and walked 'til the fall
And breathless we talked, it was tongues
Despite what they'll say, it wasn't youth, we'd hit the truth

Faces of Strummer that fell from your wall
And nothing was left where they hung
So sweet and bitter, they're what we found
So drink them down and

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
Chill will wake you, high and dry
You'll wonder why
Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
Chance is buried just below the blinding snow

You burn in the breadline and ribbons and all
So walk to winter
You won't be late, you'll always wait
This generation, the walk to the wall
But I'm not angry, get your gear
Get out of here and

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
Chill will wake you, high and dry
You'll wonder why
Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
Chance is buried just below the blinding snow

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
Chill will wake you, high and dry

Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there
You'll find
Snowblind
This is life
This is life
