My hat is frozen to my head
My heart is like a lump of lead
We're stranded out here half-starved, half-dead
Standing under the fence, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
It's a cold, haily, windy night, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
Won't you open up and let her in, oh
Four thousand miles of foreign land
They braved the road, the seas, the sands
While politicians washed their hands
Standing under the fence, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
It's a cold, haily, windy night, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
Won't you open up and let her in, oh
In a freezing tent the girl she sleeps
While muddy snow around her heaps
And his misery as cold and deep
Standing under the fence oh
Let her in, the man he cried
It's a cold, haily, windy night, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
Won't you open up and let her in, oh
But the girl still dreams of friends and school
But life is harsh and fate is cruel
He thinks no-one should have dreams at all
Standing under the fence, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
It's a cold, haily, windy night, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
Won't you open up and let her in, oh
But the girl still laughs, her smile bright
His lantern in the fading light
And he'll watch her while she sleeps tonight
Standing under the fence, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
It's a cold, haily, windy night, oh
Let her in, the man he cried
Won't you open up and let her in, oh
My hat is frozen to my head
My heart is like a lump of lead
We're stranded out here half-starved, half-dead
Standing under the fence, oh
