Lyrics
Lend me your ears
Throw down your arms tonight
I don't have much left to lose
Don't tempt me cause i might
I feel you've said
All there is to say
In a hundred years this
Won't matter anyway
And I wander the night
As I mount back into bed
If sometimes what could kill you
Shoulda just left you for dead
And I know...
And I know
Yes I know
Where the cold wind blows
Your eyes are tired
And your heart is stone cold blooded
I remember when I was
The man you fell in love with
In the letters that you saved
The ones that never made it
The ink seems to have stained but
The memories are faded
I know how you feel
I've felt that way before
Been there for too long and I
Don't feel you anymore
And I know...
Yeah I know
Yes I know
Where the cold wind blows
And how could you miss
In the august heat
But its floating by
Down the canal stream
The Grands never help
And sorrows can't be drowned
If you got nothing left to say
Leave without a sound
The poets understand
Like the bottle in my hand
Let them sing in pain as you
Get lost in the refrain
And I know...
Yeah I know
Yes I know
Where the cold wind blows
I know...
Yeah I know
Yes I know
Where the cold wind blows
