Lyrics

Wonder aimlessly down streets of cobblestone
Strong northeastern sends a chill down to our bones
Bless the children as we lay them in there beds
By early morning we’ll be Catherine Ardin

We walk on pins and needles
Deliver us from evil

Curse the day this darken cloud came driftin’ in
Fill the churchyard with the corpses of our kin
Smell of dying travels heavy on the breeze
Wretched plague has brought our city to its knees

We walk on pins and needles
Deliver us from evil
We walk on pins and needles
Deliver us from evil

The disease first appeared in our own family
And on the 13th of October are youngest daughter age 11 died
How precious to our bleeding hearts her dying words
The last intelligible words she uttered were a prayer
My kind neighbors brought the coffin and placed it at the gate
And my son and myself carried her mortal remains to the grave
When we were filling in the earth
He uttered an expression, which found an echo in my poor heart
Father I find it hard to bury our own dead
We are now passing through deep waters
All prostrate, fearful disease
I feel I am an unworthy sinner, but a sinner saved by grace

We sing for the ones we’ve buried
We sing for the windows and families
We sing for the sick and the elder
We sing for the children

We walk on pins and needles
Deliver us from evil
We walk on pins and needles
Deliver us from evil
Deliver us from this town broken ashes and we all fall down
Deliver us save us all from the curse that weighs upon our door
We walk on pins and needles
Deliver us from evil
