Rows of lights in a circle of steel |
[00:21.500] |
Where you place your bets on a great big wheel |
[00:27.000] |
High windows flickerin' down through the snow |
[00:32.500] |

A child is born to a welfare case |
[00:48.500] |

[01:44.000] |
Christmas dawns and the snow lets up |
[01:48.000] |
And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup |
[01:52.500] |
She hides her face in her hands for a while |
[01:57.500] |

Your father's pride was his means to provide“ |
