[Verse 1] This redhaired 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 girls clothes Well, my girl knows shes not all right And I dont mind Just give me time, baby, give me time [Verse 2] Her stinging eyes, and her sixteenhour drive, and our shared, transparent rope And our icy dive through hope Ill memorize, and Ill cut into my mind I cant believe it can be so I wont believe that my girl froze [Bridge] Well, my girl knows Im coiled tight and green inside Just give me time, baby, give me time [Verse 3] And that weight you hold, its getting light And, love, I know youll raise it easily up high Just give it time, just give it time [Outro] Oh baby, just give it time
give, girl, time, sixteenhour, pinecone
