Cold As It Gets

Cold As It Gets - Patty Griffin

To the end of the earth

I search for your face

For the one who laid

All of our beauty to waste

Threw our hope into hell

And our children to the fire

I am the one who crawled through the wire

I am the one who crawled through the wire

There's a million sad stories

On the side of the road

Strange how we all just

Got used to the blood

Millions of stories

That will never be told

Silent and froze in the mud

Silent and froze in the mud

I know a cold as cold as it gets

I know a darkness

That's darker than coal

A wind that blows

As cold as it gets

Blew out the light of my soul

Blew out the light of my soul

I dream in my sleep

I dream in my days

Of some sunny street

Not so far away

Where up in a window

A curtain will sway

And you and I'll meet down below

You and I'll meet down below

I know a cold as cold as it gets

I fight a war I may never see won

I live only to see you live to regret

Everything that you've done

Everything that you've done

Everything that you've done
