The Chill Outside
Face the city at night
Fall down before the dark blue
Whisper over the prisoners they hide from you
Waiting to wake up alone
You don't want to wake up alone
Well, I'm sinking fast, caught inside the power of the fog
'Cause it's so much stronger now than the cold
I pull myself back again out of it all
I see through this starless sky, out of it all
And the chill outside runs too deep
But we'll find anywhere to hide, we fight our sleep
Somewhere else far away, she'll wait for you
But you got nothing to say, no
She's not the kind to let it go
It's for her love's still blind
Just takes more time
I know a man who changes his mind
Just like he changes his shoes
Never could take a stand about his heart
There's always too much to lose
Do he holds on, but has nothing to say?
No, and he can't, he won't turn you away
Maybe sometime years from now, you can stay
And the chill outside runs too deep
We'll find anywhere to hide, we fight our sleep
Somewhere else far away, she'll wait for you
But you got nothing to say, no
She's not the kind to let it go
It's why her love's still blind
Just takes more time
Fall down before the dark blue
Whisper over the prisoners they hide from you
Waiting to wake up alone
You don't want to wake up alone
Well, I'm sinking fast, caught inside the power of the fog
'Cause it's so much stronger now than the cold
I pull myself back again out of it all
I see through this starless sky, out of it all
And the chill outside runs too deep
But we'll find anywhere to hide, we fight our sleep
Somewhere else far away, she'll wait for you
But you got nothing to say, no
She's not the kind to let it go
It's for her love's still blind
Just takes more time
I know a man who changes his mind
Just like he changes his shoes
Never could take a stand about his heart
There's always too much to lose
Do he holds on, but has nothing to say?
No, and he can't, he won't turn you away
Maybe sometime years from now, you can stay
And the chill outside runs too deep
We'll find anywhere to hide, we fight our sleep
Somewhere else far away, she'll wait for you
But you got nothing to say, no
She's not the kind to let it go
It's why her love's still blind
Just takes more time
