Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow lyrics

Strip the branches unsheathe the hatchets
The threads of friendship are coming off

The teeth of lawyers man the trenches
Bands of betrothal are coming off

But, if we're good if we're kind
But, if we're good generous and kind
We'll inhabit their sunsets
Their goddesses and queens
We'll try to do the right thing

(Oh save them) oh save them
(Oh save them, Oh save them)
Oh save them (Oh save them)

Let the children come to me

It's a harrowing world of adults and girls
Lashing out at the hurt that surrounds them

With the knives drawn apart
They shatter the heart
Of anyone that dares come between them

Let the children come to me

Once a playground of swings
Then the malice set in
And reduced all the colours to winter

So we made it our own this snow borne sorrow
And this love that stutters and splinters
Let the children come to me

Her apostles have gone they left one by one
With no forwarding address to trace them

It's a secular world of adults and girls
And we ask because nothing is certain

Let the children come to me

When their feet touch the ground
Naked unbound
I want them to know they can trust me

There's so much to be ungrateful for

Let the children come to me
