Winter's Youth - Two Gallants

In the Winter of your youth

With a string tied 'round your tooth

Your mother slammed the door

Don’t want to hear no more

From the corner of your mouth

As the truth came wandering out

You longed for something else

Than your life upon the shelf

Out upon the open road you learned to say goodbye

Such a lovely day to die

And all these things I have seen within your two blue eyes

In the silence of this town

As the truth came wandering out

Your neighbor slams his door

Don’t want to hear no more.
