A Storm Outside the Window

There is a storm outside the window
And somewhere in the cold
Sits an old man
Rocking a infant on his knee
Singing a lullaby of a single word
No, no, no, no

A mistake, a mistake
Regret before the act
A decision after the fact
Don't try to explain

There is a wind that drives the snow
And cuts across the tracks
To a woman
Standing with no one but herself
Whispering a solace of a single word
No, no, no, no

A mistake, a mistake
Regret before the act
A decision after the fact
Can't start to explain

There is a cold that casts a shadow
And crawls into the bone
A bitter boy
Staring through a pane of glass
Making a promise of a single word
No, no, no, no

A mistake, a mistake
Regret before the act
A decision after the fact
No need to explain

A mistake, a mistake
Don't try to explain

There is a storm outside the window...
