about

This song goes back some time. I describe it as a road trip up the A9 in Scotland, where things are frosty on the outside and frosty on the inside. This is a new version of the song. Less turmoil than previous versions. The #33 identifies this version from previous arrangements. I do love listening to Neill's Guitar and Mary's Cello on this.

lyrics

Devils we are



You wear my diamond ring
I wear your frown
You take my voice to sing
I grind you down to the depths of your soul

You say that we can’t survive
But we take it once more down to the wire
And in the heat of the flames
realise
There’s silence in fire
silence in fire
silence in fire

You turn your shoulder round
I drive the car
You take the temperature down
I take it one step too far

And as we drive through the night
You say ‘let’s dim the lights’
And we look at each other
And realise
There’s laughter in ice
laughter in ice
laughter in ice


We book a room for the night
In twin beds
You say ‘it’s too late to fight’
But the scars still ring in our heads

And as we lie in the dark
Open the curtains and let in the stars
And the frost on the window
And the devils we are
the devils we are
the devils we are

Silence in fire
Laughter in ice
And the devils we are
