Cold Highway

Intro                       verse 1 Your life stepped lightly out our hands When no one’s looking out you understand            Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn   The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned    And there’s a cold cold highway that the wind whistles down Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end           verse 2 Every new version of the way of life   Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night            But whose kid are you when they finally decide The lifestyle you led and the way that you died And there’s a cold cold highway that the wind whistles down Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end verse 3 But they’re oh so simple they’re still trying to tell The difference for you between heaven and hell    To glorify something your legends are found But all they bought you was a hole in the ground                verse 4 Years rolling by just like a dream (ooh) I’m partly human and I’m partly machine           They’ve lost you and fate put your name on a stone (ahh) Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone (ahh) And there’s a cold cold highway that the wind whistles down Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground Oh your black icy stare once cut down my friend In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end Outro
