In a Family Way

I find a hatchet
I can’t move the axe, oh
I tear the pine down
Snow falls in my tracks
I chained together
This wood to my plough, oh
I had to try
It won’t matter now
My neighbour sent away
For this book you can get
Learn how to live in twelve easy steps
And so i wonder if she did
I bring mattress
From the room where they slept, oh
I watch your fire rise
Can i learn to forget?
Will i learn to forget?
Can i ever forget?
