The sun was up this morning, it was smiling at my wall
A brand new day to carry on the things we do
And noon's a good time, to watch a day, die away
So I drank up my wine, prayed for redemption to come
The street was full of life I screwed my eyes towards the sky
But my doubt and pain, it lingered on
And all the storms came in that year
You held me hard in the cold
But all these monsters, they kept on coming back and I never knew how to mend
But you got out, yes you got out,
You got out in time to heal
But you got out, yes you got out,
You got out in time to heal
The world is in decline and it was stupid of me to think
That this steel town of ours would get away unhurt
They said 900 must go, and it won't be the end
You said a warm breeze will come, and blow in your face
And leave, for somewhere else
Expect nothing, and you might, you might just get the world
And all the storms came in that year
You held me hard in the cold
But all these monsters, they kept on coming back and I never knew how to mend
But you got out, yes you got out,
You got out in time to heal
But you got out, yes you got out,
You got out in time to heal
