The Weather Inside

from Beth Wood - Live from Artsville by Beth Wood

/

lyrics

She scoops the little girl up
In her arms
Wraps her in trust
When everything’s wrong
You can see this little house shaking
From down the block some days
So they stand on the corner waiting
For the city bus to drive them away

From the weather inside this house
The weather inside
They’ve got to find some place to ride it out

It was half a world away
Not yet twenty one
Haircut and a shave
New boots and a gun
A tender heart will harden
That’s what everybody knows
But they don’t tell you killing don’t make a man
It only makes a ghost

And the weather inside this house
The weather inside
He’s got to find some way to ride it out

There’s a faded old map with tear-stained pages,
And an old photograph on the kitchen table
Of a wide-eyed girl who thought a brave soldier would save her

She thinks of leaving
Now and again
But the wheel of seasons
Continues to spin
And for all of the darkening clouds
There have been days of warming sun
She remembers when they made those vows
Never to be undone
By the weather inside this house
The weather inside
They’ve got to find some way to ride it out

The weather inside this house
The weather inside
They’ve got to find some way to ride it out
Together inside this house

The weather inside this house
