Cold Wind - Joshua Hyslop

Keep holding on When my brain's ticking like a bomb Guess the black thoughts Have come again to get me Sweet bitter words Unlike nothing I've heard Sing along, mockingbird You don't affect me That's right Deliverance of my heart Please strike Be deliberate Wait, I'm coming undone Irate, I'm coming undone Too late, I'm coming undone What looks so strong, so delicate Wait, I'm starting to suffocate And soon I anticipate I'm coming undone What looks so strong, so delicate Choke, choke again I thought my demons were my friends Pity me in the end They're out to get me Since I was young I tasted sorrow on my tongue And the sweet sugar gun Does not protect me That's right Trigger between my eyes Please strike Make it quick now Wait, I'm coming undone Irate, I'm coming undone Too late, I'm coming undone What looks so strong, so delicate Wait, I'm starting to suffocate And soon I anticipate I'm coming undone What looks so strong, so delicate I'm trying to hold it together Head is lighter than a feather Looks like I'm not getting better Not getting better Wait, I'm coming undone Irate, I'm coming undone Too late, I'm coming undone What looks so strong, so delicate Wait, I'm starting to suffocate And soon I anticipate I'm coming undone What looks so strong, so delicate

Cold blows the wind over my true love, cold blows the drops of rain I never had but one true love and in Camville, he was slain I'll do as much for my true love as any young girl may I'll sit and weep down by his grave for twelve month and one day But when twelve months were come and gone, this young man, he arose What makes you weep down by my grave, I can't take my repose One kiss, one kiss of your lily-white lips, one kiss is all I crave One kiss, one kiss of your lily-white lips and return back to your grave My lips, they are as cold as my clay, my breath is heavy and strong If thou was to kiss my lily-white lips, thy days would not be long Oh, don't you remember the garden grove where we used to walk? Pluck the finest flower of them all, 'twill wither to a stalk Go fetch me a nun from the dungeon deep and water from a stone And white milk from a maiden's breast, that babe 'ere never known Go dig me a grave both long, wide and deep as quickly as you may I'll lie down in it and take one sleep for twelve month and one day Cold blows the wind over my true love, cold blows the drops of rain I never had but one true love and in Camville, he was slain I'll do as much for my true love as any young girl may I'll sit and weep down by his grave for twelve month and one day

Pull this little thread And watch it grow and watch it spread Wider than the dawn Further in and farther on Who could comprehend The path it takes or know its plan? Oh, the mystery of what may come And what shall be Hear the waves crash down As they shape the shore and in their sound Each one lives its life In its own way, in its own time And would you say to them Hold your tongues? Or come not hence? To live a life that's free Is to sing and dance In the melody Now I understand That there are dreams and there are plans And some shall see the light But there are those that will pass by So I've come to hope Though I can't say and I can't know That in the end I'll be With the friends I know And who know me

It's a long and lonely road When you are on your own, all by yourself The emptiness that lays deep within your bones To love somebody else Cause when you're gone, lord knows, you'll be gone When you're gone, oh, you'll be gone I am not a stranger to the dark or to the cold I know them well All the pride hidden deep inside my soul Oh, to be somebody else But when I'm gone, lord knows, I'll be gone When I'm gone, oh I'll be

This was both of us together Every part was joining in All like solitary feathers Move with purpose through the wind When so many of us forfeit Before we simply lose the plot This was everything I wanted And I gave everything I've got Well, there's not much that I can say To make you change your mind You drifted further every day Until the well runs dry Runs dry, runs dry, oh Was it all the complicated Making mountains out of dust Does it leave you feeling jaded I'd imagine that it does Well, there's not much that I can say To make you change your mind You drifted further every day And the well ran dry Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh There's not much that I can say To make you change your mind You drifted further every day Til the well runs dry Runs dry, runs dry Runs dry, runs

This is not the end It's the start When all that's broken mends All that came apart And I looked into your eyes And I saw fear of hurt, because of me Of both with uncertainty And I looked into your eyes And you lied If you fall, you fall I will never let you go If you fall, you fall I will never let you go (Ooh-ooh-ooh) So you start again Pick up where you stopped You beg to be let in But still refuse to knock And I heard you when you called Oh, I heard you saying Hope in what you cannot see Hope is not some guarantee, no Oh, I heard you when you called Do you hear me? And you fall, you fall But I will never let you go And you fall, you fall But I will never let you go And you fall, you fall But I will never let you go (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

There's something about the winter's down in Texas Something in the wind that burns my eyes No way that I could keep from being reckless When nothing but a drink can ease my mind Now I've had enough of wanting to be wanted I've had enough of living in despair They say that brighter days will surely find me But I've never seen the sun like I did there So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home Well, in my heart there's two roads that diverge now And I'm sorry I can only travel one But living's only living once you've chosen To stop wasting time wondering what you might've done So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home Oh I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home
