Lyrics
The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs no need
To hold.

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on thes roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on my love
We shall meet, I know
I know

Where join should reign
These skies restrain
"Shadow your love"
The voice trails off again

Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know
I know
