Mad as the Mist and Snow Lyrics

Mad as the Mist and Snow by The Waterboys
Verse 1:
Bolt and bar the shutter,
For the foul winds blow:
Our minds are at their best this night,
And I seem to know
That everything outside us is
Mad as the mist and snow. (2x)
Verse 2:
Horace by Homer stands,
Plato stands below,
And here is Tully's open page.
How many years ago
Were you and I lads
Mad as the mist and snow? (2x)
Instrumental:
G D A G D A Etc.
Verse 3:
What makes me sigh
What makes me shudder so?
I shudder and I sigh to think
That even Cicero
And many-minded Homer were
Mad as the mist and snow.
And Cicero and Homer were
Mad as the mist and snow (3x)
Mad as the mist and snow!
G D A G D A G D A Etc.
