Turn It Around

Cold night in December

In a shelter on the Bloor Street line

Ice on the windows

Ice in his bones, no warmth, no wine

Plastic, magic

Wishing wand on the frozen ground

See the sparkle catch his eye now

Oh, as he turns it around

Turn it around, turn it around

See the silver stars fall from a blue, blue sky

Are you wishing in hope or do you wish you could die

Or do you wish you could turn it around

Turn it around, turn it around

See the silver stars fall from a blue, blue sky

Are you wishing in hope or do you wish you could die

Or do you wish you could turn it around

Cold night in December

In an earlier time, another place

Warmth all around him

A fireplace glows on a young boy's face

Nose to the window

Snowflakes dance in the street lamp's glare

See the sparkle catch his eye now

Oh, can you see it in there

Turn it around, turn it around

See the silver stars fall from a blue, blue sky

Are you wishing in hope or do you wish you could die

Or do you wish you could turn it around

Cold night in December

And a young man drifts through falling snow

Warmth shines from windows

But it don't shine on him, he's got someplace to go

Lights in the bar room

Glitter down on an empty glass

See the sparkle catch his eye now

Oh, did it find you at last?

Turn it around, turn it around

See the silver stars fall from a blue, blue sky

Are you wishing in hope or do you wish you could die

Or do you wish you could turn it around

Cold night in December

In a shelter on the Bloor Street line

Ice on the windows

Ice in his bones, no warmth, no wine

Snowflakes and rainfall

Mingle on the icy ground

See them sparkle in his blue, blue eyes

Oh, as he turns it around

Turn it around, turn it around

See the silver stars fall from a blue, blue sky

Are you wishing in hope or do you wish you could die

Or do you wish you could turn it around

Are you wishing in hope or do you wish you could die

Or do you wish you could turn it around
