Big Country Can You Feel The Winter Lyrics

Do you see the paper, rumor going 'round
Finally they tell us, time to close us down
It's a major story, headlines at the stand
What was once our dignity, so the men bought back
Take away the fabric, make us less than real
Never let us have the cards, don't let us deal
Deep in the city, keep the windows closed
Don't chance a chill, or mess your clothes
Have you any measure what just one of us is worth
The wind that comes to chill us off already froze the
north

Tell me, can you feel the winter, feel it cold across
your heart
Tell me, can you feel the winter, tearing us apart,
tearing us apart

More than a rumor, there go the rats
It's all been said and done there is no turning back
Farewell grey angels, you chose the sea
Safe out on the waters, it's where you long to be
Have you any measure what just one of us is worth
And the wind that comes to cool us off already froze
the north

Tell me, can you feel the winter, feel it cold across
your heart
Tell me, can you feel the winter, tearing us apart,
tearing us apart (rep. 2)

We're all in this together, if we're in this thing at
all
And we don't need to feel better, when our back's against the wall
If it's over, then it's over
And we don't need to feel better, and our back's
against the wall
So wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me
And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled
sea
Yeah, wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to
me
And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled
sea

I hope that you can take it, I hope that you come
through
For I know what it does to me, it does much worse to
you
If it's over, then it's over
For I know what it does to me, it does much worse to
you
For wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me
And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled
sea
So wave goodbye to sailor boy, and wave goodbye to me
And let your love be strong for us, beyond the troubled
sea

More than a rumor, there go the rats
It's all been said and done there is no turning back
Farewell grey angels, you chose the sea
Safe out on the waters, it's where you long to be
Have you any measure what one of us is worth
The wind that comes to cool us off already froze the
north
