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.
