Bruised Orange
Justin Vernon

My heart's in the ice house, come hill or come valley

Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley

On a cold winter's morning to a church house

Just to shovel some snow


I heard sirens on the train track, howl naked gettin' under

An altar boy's been hit by a local commuter

Just from walking with his back turned

To the train that was coming so slow


You can gaze out the window, get mad and get madder

Throw your hands in the air, say What does it matter?

But it don't do no good to get angry

So help me, I know


For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter

You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there

Wrapped up in a trap of your very own

Chain of sorrow


I been brought down to zero, pulled out and put back there

I sat on a park bench, kissed the girl with the black hair

And my head shouted down to my heart

You better look out below!



Hey, it ain't such a long drop, don't stammer, don't stutter

From the diamonds in the sidewalk to the dirt in the gutter

And you carry those bruises

To remind you wherever you go


You can gaze out the window, get mad and get madder

Throw your hands in the air, say What does it matter?

But it don't do no good to get angry

So help me, I know


For a heart stained in anger grows weak and grows bitter

You become your own prisoner as you watch yourself sit there

Wrapped up in a trap of your very own

Chain of sorrow


My heart's in the ice house, come hill or come valley

Like a long ago Sunday when I walked through the alley

On a cold winter's morning to a church house

Just to shovel some snow
