Come In

Strong cold hands that are always shaking
Through overcoats, sweaters and the sun
Your skin is cold as the morning
You're abandoned all day

"So come in,"
Said the mother to the rising tide
"Come in
Give my little one a place to hide"

It don’t take much to please a 12 year old girl
Just tell her the truth and don't let her get too cold
And she won't grow up, it’s just the world that gets tired
Like some sad old whore with a story not sold

"So come in,"
Said the Solid Gold dancer to the sun
"Come in
Don't you know that any light's always welcome?
You're always welcome."

A quiet voice is easy to shut down
A quiet voice is easy to run into the ground

"So come in
Don't you know you've been outside for too long?
Come in
You should know you're always welcome
Come in
You should know you don't have to be alone
Come in
Don’t you know you’re always welcome?
You're always welcome"
