Big Country - Can You Feel The Winter lyrics

Do you see the paper, rumor going ’round Finally they tell us, time to close us down It’s a major story, headlines at the stand What was once our dignity, sold and then bought back Take away the fabric, make us less than real Never let us have the cards, don’t let us deal Deep in the city, keep the windows closed Don’t chance a chill, or mess your clothes Have you any measure what just one of us is worth The wind that comes to chill us off already froze the north Tell me, can you feel the winter, feel it cold across your heart Tell me, can you feel the winter, tearing us apart, tearing us apart More than a rumor, there go the rats It’s all been said and done there is no turning back Farewell grey angels, you chose the sea Safe out on the waters, it’s where you long to be Have you any measure what just one of us is worth And the wind that comes to cool us off already froze the north Tell me, can you feel the winter, feel it cold across your heart Tell me, can you feel the winter, tearing us apart, tearing us apart [x2] We’re all in this together, if we’re in this thing at all And we don’t need to feel better, when our back’s against the wall If it’s over, then it’s over And we don’t need to feel better, and our back’s against the wall So wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled sea Yeah, wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled sea I hope that you can take it, I hope that you come through For I know what it does to me, it does much worse to you If it’s over, then it’s over For I know what it does to me, it does much worse to you For wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled sea So wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled sea More than a rumor, there go the rats It’s all been said and done there is no turning back Farewell grey angels, you chose the sea Safe out on the waters, it’s where you long to be Have you any measure what one of us is worth The wind that comes to cool us off already froze the north
