Billy & Anne Songtext
von The Altogether

Billy′s a lawful man
He's just got a gun in his hand
And he′ll defend young Anne if he must

He says "come hell or high water
She'll always know what I taught her"
A good man any good daughter could trust

She says "I for one
Haven't seen the sun
In days or maybe months"
He said "the storm don′t care
That we were unprepared
But you can walk in my tracks till we′re home"

And Virgil's a tagalong
Singing his grandmother′s song
Though he may get it wrong now and then

She was never much for snow
She told him a long time ago
And only now does he know what she meant


She meant "I for one
Haven't seen the sun
In days or maybe months
But the storm don′t care
That we were unprepared
Can I walk with your pack till we're home?"

And I don′t care what you say
The world looks beautiful today
And I don't know where you've been
But I think I hear people singing out
I hear cathedral bells ringing out
And I can′t fall asleep
′Cause the moonlight's reflected in the snow
And the moon′s alright

But I for one
Haven't seen the sun
In days or maybe months
And it′s only fair
That I take you where
That's not true anymore
When the storm is through
We′ll know what to do
You can walk in my tracks till we're home
