Frank Black - Manitoba lyrics

Up in Manitoba The sky was very blue The people were a few And nights were getting colder And when I heard the sound The sky had turned to red So I got up from my bed And I wandered far from town For I had seen the face of God And I was not afraid I had seen the face of God And I have dearly paid The darkness came, I couldn't see There were no more lights to follow So I slept inside the hollow Of a dead and fallen tree I tell how three days I tried To wake myself? But, no My flesh had turned to snow And I thought I had died Yes I had seen the face of God And I was not afraid I have seen the face of God And I have dearly paid And though I had it rough They got me home in time And they got me homemade wine But it was not enough The cold had made me dumb And I was sent away These walls are here stay For fifty years and some Yes, I have seen the face of God And I am not afraid I have seen the face of God And I have dearly paid
