By the dried up stream
We slit our throats and dreamed
But when the building´s burned
Was there some concerned

Mother laid in bed
What was it she said?
Gather all your worldly jewels
And scatter them like fools
Don´t you make a fuss
Days so perilous
When day is done we´ll ride
Who cares what we find
Another misspent night
We thought we got it right
The driver lost a wheel
The ice turned into steel
They shivered like refugees
Way down on our knees
By the dried up stream
We slit our throats and dreamed
But when the building´s burned
Was there some concerned

Mother laid in bed
