about

a cold country winter warmer

lyrics

The snow's settled deep I've got my big boots on
There's bears out there so I carry a gun
Fire's burning down but the embers ain't gone
And I'm chopping wood so tomorrow won't come

Sometimes this old life takes its toll
and you won't stop me from growing old
You keep on looking for that pot of gold
but there ain't no rainbow at the end of the road

Well these days are cold and bitter too
I'm growing older while I'm waiting for you
The engine's running but there's nothing to do
Driving round in circles won't ever get you through

The chickens ain't laid in a week or two
Foxes bide their time and are laying low
If you play chicken there ain't nowhere to go
If you're a hen-pecked feather-covered soup-full-of-bones

HTC now records and releases music as 'The Family Grave'.
