Hannah Read - She Took A Gamble lyrics

Pull back the curtains and watch the swelling tide The way it tears up, s**s everything inside The hermit crabs and tiny things buried deep Run back to shore now, pick up your heavy feet The beach it stretches long, feels like our very own It stands in front of our temporary home Tied on down by ropes that cling to stones Sometimes it feels like we’re in this all alone She took a gamble, it all could have gone very wrong Strong minded courageous Strong minded courageous Oh when the wind howled it chilled us to the bone It took some confidence to take us on her own The longest summers and winters dark all day We grew so close then, under the eaves we’d stay We’d stay, we’d stay We’d wash and wring our clothes Whipped dry in salty air Climb up the steep bank behind the house Pump water from the ground Boil it up, simmer down We’ll take the time, we’ll take the time She took a gamble, it all could have gone very wrong Strong minded courageous Strong minded courageous She took a gamble, it all could have gone very wrong Strong minded courageous Strong minded courageous
