Cold Case Bones

Verse 1 - Hennessy

Paws on pavement in the Ottawa rain

Midnight on Walsh and the cold won't fade

Brenda by my side with the case files stacked

Every page a ghost that ain't never cracked

Barking at the shadows where the truth hides low

Sniffin' out the lies that the city won't show

She reads the names out loud like a sermon said

I follow every scent to the ones who fled

Pre-Chorus

Cold case bones

Cold case bones

Dig 'em up slow

Dig 'em up slow

Chorus - Both

We want the truth

We want the truth down to the root

Walsh street nights and a loyal hound

Chasin' every whisper till the answers found

We want the truth

We want the truth down to the root

Verse 2 - Brenda

Four a.m. files on the dashboard light

He's got a nose for sorrow sharper than a knife

I read between the lines of the missing years

He hears the silent cries only a dog can hear

Ride or die my partner with the steady stare

We carry every name like a secret prayer

The capital keeps quiet but we don't sleep

We pull the truth from the waters deep

Pre-Chorus

Cold case bones

Cold case bones

Dig 'em up slow

Dig 'em up slow

Chorus - Both

We want the truth

We want the truth down to the root

Walsh street nights and a loyal hound

Chasin' every whisper till the answers found

We want the truth

We want the truth down to the root

Bridge - Hennessy

Growlin' at the gates of the locked-up years

Velvet dark and the gripin' fears

Brenda's voice is the anchor in the storm

I taste the lies and I keep 'em warm

(Keep 'em warm)

(Keep 'em warm)

Chorus - Both

We want the truth

We want the truth down to the root

Walsh street nights and a loyal hound

Chasin' every whisper till the answers found

We want the truth

We want the truth down to the root
