Five of Pentacles

V6

[Verse 1] Your coat is thin at the edge of the square Snow gathers soft in your uncombed hair You count the coins in your open hand While warm windows shine across the land [Pre-Chorus] But the painted glass above the door Doesn’t tell you what a heart is for [Chorus] Come in from the cold, you don’t have to explain There’s a place at the table, a lamp in the rain When the last bit of luck has gone under the stone You are more than the miles you walked alone Come in from the cold [Verse 2] Two figures pass where the old bells ring One holds a bundle, one holds a spring The snow keeps falling, the night runs long Still a small light says you belong [Pre-Chorus] The hard season isn’t all you are A quiet door can outshine a star [Chorus] Come in from the cold, you don’t have to explain There’s a place at the table, a lamp in the rain When the last bit of luck has gone under the stone You are more than the miles you walked alone Come in from the cold [Instrumental Break: expressive blues guitar solo traded with dubby keyboard phrases] [Bridge] If you’ve got no bread, take half of mine If you’ve lost your way, sit here awhile The winter can narrow the road you can see But it can’t decide what you’re worth to me [Final Chorus] Come in from the cold, you don’t have to explain There’s a place at the table, a lamp in the rain When the last bit of luck has gone under the stone You are more than the miles you walked alone Come in from the cold Come in from the cold [Outro] A light in the window A hand at the door You’re not alone anymore
