Matchbox Whistler
Lyricist:Jay Clifford
Bring in the litewood, the sun is all dry The matchbox whistler is all cheeks and smiles From a walk in the snow with smoke in the sky
Hand over hand with ears in the wool Quick close the door 'cause the winter is cruel I saved your life once now don't you be a fool
Remember the ashes, remember the black Remember the oak, walking stick to your back Remember the knife and the blue steel stars He ran away cold and left you at the bar
The oven is hot and your supper is free So take off your boots and I'll put on the tea 'Cause it's no easy hike through those city streets
Hat on the nail, the old dusty black Is saved for your brother if he ever comes back But he's gone and he's gone down his lonely track
Remember the cold, the snow and the moon The crowds inside with liquor in their tune Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Remember his breath and the hatred it kept He ran away cold and left you on the step
Now watch him run from you Run from you, run from you
He'd wait in the trees as a boy yea high With peace and quiet of a cloud in the sky And he'd wait for the sparrows till the sun was dry
Remember the dark, remember the light The cold of the snow, the heat of the flight I remember it all and I'm really quite sure
He ran away cold and left you at the door
Now watch him run from you Run from you, run from you
Bring in the litewood, the sun is all dry Whistle a tune as you light up the fire 'Cause the snow's on the ground And the smoke's in the sky
