No Words - Make Do And Mend

I’ve been following the steam trail of her breath

On these winter streets, running from an early death

And she’s everything I need, want, and can’t have

She’s the foreign life I’ve desperately been clawing at

I’m clawing at

Countless time upon countless time

Her blank stare connects with mine

Panic sets in and I avert my eyes

She couldn’t love what she doesn’t know

I’m just the stranger who can’t let go

Of the thing that I want most in this whole world

I used to disregard regret

But there are some things that I can’t forget

I’d ignore my shame but it’s been pounding in my head

Sometimes the emptiness pervades

In this lonely room’s skeletal embrace

With no love in my life

These days are getting harder and harder to face

I’m slipping further and further away

These are the things at night I prayed I’d never feel

The untamable sadness life too often deals

So give me a sign, show me that love

Isn’t the cold dead hand of winter creeping up

It’s creeping up, it’s creeping up, it’s creeping

And these are the things at night I prayed I’d never feel

The untamable sadness life too often deals

So give me a sign, show me that love

Isn’t the cold dead hand of winter creeping up

These are the things at night I prayed I’d never feel

The untamable sadness life too often deals

So give me a sign, show me that love

Isn’t the cold dead hand of winter creeping up

It’s creeping up, it’s creeping up, it’s creeping
