Lyrics

[Verse 1] This red-haired girl of mine tore a pinecone from the pine To cut into her palm, singing the song her sinking lover sung I shut my eyes, ripped the train from off the line But a sudden gust of snow blew through a hole in my girl's clothes Well, my girl knows she's not all right And I don't mind Just give me time, baby, give me time [Verse 2] Her stinging eyes, and her sixteen-hour drive, and our shared, transparent rope And our icy dive through hope I'll memorize, and I'll cut into my mind I can't believe it can be so I won't believe that my girl froze [Bridge] Well, my girl knows I'm coiled tight and green inside Just give me time, baby, give me time [Verse 3] And that weight you hold, it's getting light And, love, I know you'll raise it easily up high Just give it time, just give it time [Outro] Oh baby, just give it time
