The Cold Cold Rain

Verse 1

Cold rain falls through the winter pines

Silver threads through shadowed lines…

The sky hangs low, a veil of gray

Holding words I dare not say… (say) (say)

Chorus

You left me here in the cold, cold rain

Now the forest sings of old old pain…

The pines release their winter sighs

The rain keeps falling from grey skies…

I listen close for a softer sound

But only rain meets the frozen ground…

Pre-Chorus

Every drop taps out that same old tune

Keeping time like the distant moon…

I walk the path the rain has drowned

Each step falls quiet, without sound…

Verse 2

Branches tremble, thin and bare

As Winter weaves through my tangled hair…

Rivers wake where frost once crept

In the shadows where we once wept…

The sky hangs low and heavy grey

I lose the path I knew by day… (day) (day)

Pre-Chorus

Every branch holds a ghost of light

Shimmering low in the fading night…

Chorus

You left me here in the cold, cold rain

Now the forest sings of old old pain…

The pines release their winter sighs

The rain keeps falling from grey skies…

Bridge

If I could trade this rain for snow

And hide the road where we won’t go…

If I could keep the memories you made

I’d keep them close so not to fade…

But this winter holds and never breaks

And I am left with all it takes… (takes) (takes)

Final Chorus

I Stay here now in the cold, cold rain

Letting the forest cradle my quiet pain…

The pines will play a frozen game

While every drop falls just the same…

Outro

(Ohhh oooohh)

Cold rain falls through the winter
