Scorn me not though I deserve,
I've done fighting in my time.
Long live the people hear me shout,
And tell my enemies I'm blind now.
Cold and clear, cold and clear, [Gold and clean...?]
Alone I may be,
But afraid ain't me.
Trust to me your little ones,
Slow and sweet I teach.
Woman man in blended garments
Try to block my greatest moments.
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be,
But afraid ain't me.
Oh the little black one comes
No one shouts out my name
Oh the little white one comes
Think love is a game?
Treat me well when wandered to your door
Bathe me please for I am dirty
Wash me hard with scalding tears
And with bath water drain my fears.
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be but
Afraid ain't me.
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be but
Afraid ain't me.
I've done fighting in my time.
Long live the people hear me shout,
And tell my enemies I'm blind now.
Cold and clear, cold and clear, [Gold and clean...?]
Alone I may be,
But afraid ain't me.
Trust to me your little ones,
Slow and sweet I teach.
Woman man in blended garments
Try to block my greatest moments.
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be,
But afraid ain't me.
Oh the little black one comes
No one shouts out my name
Oh the little white one comes
Think love is a game?
Treat me well when wandered to your door
Bathe me please for I am dirty
Wash me hard with scalding tears
And with bath water drain my fears.
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be but
Afraid ain't me.
Cold and clear, cold and clear,
Alone I may be but
Afraid ain't me.
