Lyrics and translation
Original
Ever since I heard the howling wind.
I didn't need to go and abide the wind.
Then you know your gifts seem heaven sent.
Just leave it to a caller that that's the thing.
I don't know how you house the sin.
-But you're free now.
-I was never sure how much of you I could let in.
And I'm free now.
Won't you settle down, baby, here your love has been.
Heavenly Father, is definitely lava.
While you don't carry other names.
I heard about a day where it dropped the gold.
To go another day as we learn to cope.
'Cause I'm a -known coward and a coward's wind.
-But -you're free now.
-You turn around now and you count to ten.
-See you go now.
-But I know now, honey, that I can't pretend.
Heavenly Father, has brought to his altar, the love that's left in end.
'Cause
I just built up here for goddamn years.
-Can you see now? -Filling up holes with goddamn fear.
I am free now.
But I know about it, darling, I've been standing here.
Heavenly Father, is all that he offers, safety in the end.
