Long Cold Winter

You have to face the fact
That you've been covering up your tracks
You've been chasing phony silhouettes
And dancing out in the dark

Couldn't help it
I was young and restless
As for you, son
It was said and done

Then the soul burned and the odds turned
Does the cold hurt did the pain work

And after all this time, these years you're still struggling with your dice
For a place, a home, a heart, a soul
Yeah, something to comply

Yes it is true
Both for me and you
Take these words now
Listen up, girl

Then the soul burned and the odds turned
Does the cold hurt did the pain work
Yes, it is clear
Yeah, the damned thing is still in the air
Would you fake it, would you take it with you home

I have hated you so
My dear boy, my only soul
But as you can see
Life has been good to me

Then the soul burned and the odds turned
Does the cold hurt did the pain work
Yes, it is there
Yeah, the damned thing is in the air
Will you fake it, would you take it with you home
