Grey skies, early morning
Mama's cooking, papa's strumming
No one's watching, no one's watching, oh
Trees like fingers
Cold that lingers in the bones, oh
Pink-cheeked little girls go
And something's lying low

Rubber boots, mismatched mittens
Yesterday they'd been a-fightin'
The dog runs out before them, oh
Field is white
Ice is quiet
Two pairs of rubber boots go sliding oh
Dog is rolling in the snow
And something's lying low, oh

I didn't know, I told you not to go
I didn't know, I told you not to go

Quilt patch ice, breath is foggy
Sister tries to follow doggy
Dog knows his way around
Black ice creaks
Sister don't shriek
Two rubber boots go sinking down
Ten miles away from any town
Sister's sinking down (?)

I didn't know, i told you not to go
I didn't know, i told you not to go

Grey skies early morning
Mama's crying, papa's running
Dog is watching, sister's pale as her ghost
Heart is thumping, wonders what she's lost

I didn't know, I told you not to go
I didn't know, I told you not to go

Sweating, pounding
Grasping splashing
Freezing thrashing
Breathless drowning
Black hole gaping, waves are sloshing
Papa stops and stares and breathes so slow

I didn't know, I told you not to go
I didn't know, I told you not to go

Sister standing barefoot in the snow
Whatever's lying low keeps lying low
