Oh Odessa,
Winter’s coming and
your mother’s hungry.
Watch her apron
twirl around the city streets,
“Can you spare a…”

Oh Odessa,
Winter’s coming and
your father’s desperate.
Hear him crying
in the pantry over bills.
Isn’t life a thrill?
Will you dance the night away?

Oh Odessa,
Winter’s coming and
your brother’s weaker.
Hear him wheezing
into pillows in the night.
Doctor says it’s…

Oh Odessa,
Winter’s coming and
your sister’s pregnant.
Watch her belly
grow a little every day.
Try to look away.
Stay away until the morning

Days, I’ve been watching you for days.
We can run away.
Steal away until the morning.
Oh, Odessa…
