Dry The River - Bible Belt (Studio Version)

***LYRICS IN DESCRIPTION*** No video, just a really good song. :]

~LYRICS~

'Lo and behold your mother is drinking again
This might be the coldest winter since records began
You were alone and steady with wintry calm
Leading the children softly across the farm

Each morning you march your sisters like soldiers to school
'Cause lo and behold your father has drunk all the fuel.
You were a low moon, steady with wintry calm
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark

But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail
And you say 'my love, you take the cards that you're dealt'

'Cause there's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem
If it's dark outside, you light the fire yourself

Darling when the ice caps melt
When the devils in the bible belt
Don't cower in your bed
I'll be on the five-four-five
You can meet me at the railway line
Don't look so scared

'Cause we've been through worse than this before we could talk

And the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore
Oh, the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore

"There's no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem

And you say 'my love, you take the cards that you're dealt' "

Should be switched to

"And you say ‘my love, you take the cards that you’re dealt’

Cus no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem "

It's drunk all the fuel (implying the father spent the money for fuel on alcohol, not that he literally drank the fuel).

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SOURCE OF THAT PICTURE???!?!?

[frogbog92]

I feel like if you stare at this picture long enough, it looks like it's moving.

@findingnvrland21 Running a TinEye query doesn't turn it up anywhere else that wasn't also copied. You can see the initials of the artist down in front of the wolf's leg, but that doesn't help much in finding the original artist. Sorry. :/

[findingnvrland21]

@ZachJank That's not the real artist tho =/

In most places such as tumblr and a few blogs the image 'Dream Wolf' used in this video is credited to 'nequest' on Flick. Whether they are the artist or not is hard to figure out because their photostream is very miss-matched.

[findingnvrland21]

@bananacrumble But who's the artist!?

[MissTrilobite]

@findingnvrland21 Not sure if it's been said already but I cba to flick through two weeks worth of comments ^^; Just google dream wolf, can't post url for some reason :/
