As winter bleached the colour from the sun, you left the in-laws And went to buy the things that I'd put in the pawnshop window And you took them home Locked them away My heart and soul Like china on display ♪ I realised my mistake, and hurried to the pawnshop window But where my things had been, there was nothing but a shadow And I became yours As you held the key My heart and soul No longer belong to me ♪ So now I wash the blood out of the uniforms you wear And stitch and mend your life up, wherever there's a tear I repay the debt So one day you'll owe me And on a night you'll regret You will hand over the key
