Lyrics

I hear the demons and devils roar
Outside the porch light at my backdoor
I know it's chilling though I've heard them before

Outside the garden stands a cross
No need to tell you just what was lost
I cry while Peter counts the cost

But in the morning I gotta go to work
While we await a different fate
I dream another birth
I cry while Peter and the rooster yell
We hang our hopes and our coats on rusted nails
That hold our house together

How could we know, Dear, there'd be this hole
That we would bring here into this home
Oh Peter, so much sorrow

And in the morning I gotta go to work
While we await a different fate
I dream another birth
I cry wile Peter and the rooster yell
We hang our hopes and our coats on rusted nails

Get you to the door, My Love
Don't regret the storm, My Love
It's gonna take a lot of cold
To get this thing to grow

You're here beside me when I try to sleep
Your hand is on my back, a leg around my knee
Love is a dangerous comforting

In the morning I gotta go to work
While we await a different fate
I dream another birth
I cry wile Peter and the rooster yell
And hang us upside down on rusted nails
That hold our house togerher
Hold our house together
But it is together
