lyrics

I was born in a blizzard man baptised in the mighty river Humber man
Had my share of love and troubles mind and that old black dog is never far behind
He comes and he goes and he gives what he’s got his shadow running fast across my soul
But I turn me around and I smile in his face I was born in a blizzard don’t you know
I was living like a dog in a doorway so long always picking up the scraps with the strays
And I have been a lucky man held a treasure in my hand to only watch it slip away
They tumble and roll and they spin but it don’t matter any way I win
Cos the first thing I saw was the wind and the hail I was born and the blizzard howled and wailed
I have wondered at so many scenes but poisoned oceans haunt my dreams
So I rage and I wonder why the blind lead the blind for a poke in the eye
They come and they go all those crooked kings on broken thrones they’re jokers and they’re ghouls
But I’ve reached for the light ever since the day I was born in a blizzard with the blues
