Lyrics
On the evening sun's furrowed brow below
The breezy air's a sea now the season's gone
And you remember what your daddy told you
As the blood in your veins grows colder
So you light a fire to keep away the eyes
Burning Beatrix Potter and her dress of nine
The badger said the ploughman, he'll spell for your hell
That's how he saw your name as well
Cold hands, warm heart, my dear
Cold hands, warm heart, my dear
Up the track comes a procession of flame
It's the villagers who curse your name
They took the chain and they broke the link
The revenge of the jasmine mink
So I think it's a bitter sin
As I slip off my badger skin
How the difference between them and us
Can be accepted with little fuss
Cold hands, warm heart, my dear
Cold hands, warm heart, my dear
But all of this was a lifetime ago
Someone else has donned the skin for all I know
And I can't leave this place I'm in
'Cause you lit the fire with my skin
And outside is very cold
The winter's deep, I must be getting old
You burned the boots and all the rest
But I still clutch your letter to my chest
Cold hands, warm heart, my dear
Cold hands, warm heart, my dear
