What Does It Matter - Mary Black

What does it matter if the sun don’t rise

It’s midnight forever in my Jimmy’s eyes

What should it matter if it comes on to spring

When I’m finding winter in everything

Lived in this cold wind city all of my life

Walking around still looks the same

Same people coming and going

It doesn’t feel right

See it all now

From so far away

All of the wisdom that I held so high

Shining and useless as this April sky

The hedgerows are singing and it comes on spring

But I’m finding winter in everything

Lived in this cold wind city all of my life

Walking around still looks the same

Same people coming and going

It doesn’t feel right

See it all now

From so far away

So what should it matter if the earth may slide

Sky break in pieces or the stars collide

The little of sense left in this world or ours

My Jimmy took with him in the wee small hours

Lived in this cold wind city all of my life

Walking around still looks the same

Same people coming and going

It doesn’t feel right

See it all now

It’s so far away

I’m finding winter in everything

I’m finding winter in everything
