restless we're gagged and tied
hide in the shadows and divert our eyes
like a stone we pass the time
frozen in our shame
lend my heart to someone kind
she is blessed and I am blind
Pretty string on a spool unwind
curse the pulling hand
clenching tight to hide my truth
a tired man what can I do
hating me for loving you
The wind how cold it blows
oh we're orphans in the storm / oh orphans in the storm
shake my branches collect my leaves
burn them black in front of me
it's not an option stay or leave
love is not a choice
oh we're orphans in the storm / oh you will keep me warm
oh orphans in the storm / oh I will keep you warm
last night you touched my lips
gentle with your fingertips
now my heart like a record skips
it's what you do to me
oh we're orphans in the storm / oh you will keep me warm
oh orphans in the storm / oh I will keep you warm
