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
