Lyrics

Weep like a woman ('cept our women don't weep) Sleep like a baby ('cept our babies don't sleep) Walk like a man ('cept our men are all hid) Run like the devil (to a new, new land) Run like the devil or you'll die like a dog Beat your retreat into my empty arms I'll cover your ears while they sound their alarms Shake off the dirt and the dust of what was I'll shelter you, shelter you, lick you clean I'll shelter you until it's all dark again Listen to the song of the birds Listen to the squeal of the pig Listen to the wind (to the water, to the fire) To the kids as they muster a song And come to me, baby I've got a story to tell About a baby who came to me and I treated her well Care for me, love for me, gimme what you have Listen to ourselves as we wail and we laugh That's how the best will be won That's how the best will be won Oh, that's how the best will be won Yeah, that's how the best will be won That's how the best will be, will be won Oh, that's how the best will be won
