Cold wind hits the iron gate
The oven cannot wait
I walk through the empty square
Frost is hanging in the air
Sugar and steel in the grey
Baking the winter away
Golden crust and silver wheel
Magic of sugar and steel
The Ferris wheel stands so high
A giant bone against the sky
I carry the warm sourdough
While the autumn breezes blow
Sugar and steel in the grey
Baking the winter away
Golden crust and silver wheel
Magic of sugar and steel
Copper pots and heavy pans
Working with my tired hands
The coaster track is frozen tight
Glimmering in the velvet night
Sugar and steel in the grey
Baking the winter away
Golden crust and silver wheel
Magic of sugar and steel
Yeast will rise as bells will chime
Counting out the midnight time
I leave a loaf by the door
While the autumn leaves will soar
Sugar and steel in the grey
Baking the winter away
Golden crust and silver wheel
Magic of sugar and steel
Warm bread and iron light
Holding back the autumn night
Sugar and steel.
