There’s a devil in the yard
And he’s looking pretty hard
For a way to make you cold
He might pass this way
But he won’t want to stay
If you let your heart take hold
It’s a desperate thing we seek
To be silent and not speak
And to crave only silver and gold
When this could be the day
That the ice will melt away
And you let your heart take hold
Let your heart take hold
Like a wild stretch of road
Like something that can’t be sold
Let it catch the wind
And let it all begin
And let your heart take hold
Now would you come to me
If you needed to be free
Would you want me still to hold
When all the tracks been laid
And all the debts have all been paid
Would you let your heart take hold
