Winter has me by the throat
But spring is gonna come soon
I'll be drenched to the bone
In the warm rains of May and June
Oh little one
When the war is done
Then I'm gonna come running back to you
See my breath in the cold
In the light of a half moon
I never knew
I never knew that what I didn't know could kill me
I never knew
I never knew that what I didn't know could kill me
The hymns they sing
And the prayers they pray
And the words they say
Ain't never gonna make it right
See me run from the flame
The world is scorched and dry tonight
Oh little one
When the war is done
Then I'm gonna come running back to you
With my back to the sun
Fall asleep and dream till noon
I never knew
I never knew that what I didn't know could kill me
I never knew
I never knew that what I didn't know could kill me
