Cold Ears

The years are running down your face Just a little taste of yesterday Reminding you, tomorrow's late And won't be bothering us today You said you had somewhere to be Before the two of us were dead The first to take ends, split in two And think to weave them into thread Oh, I had words to say I wish I still remembered them Something written down in haste Nothing looking back again She walked away from me so slowly But hopefully all the same And she said Hold me, closely So that your words might warm my ears The wind is cold today The world's been cold for years And I said I'll hold you down If you should start to float Cause I'm scared of the clouds And the places you might go And she said Don't hold me down I have no place to be And I promise if I leave You haven't seen the last of me No Well the years went by as years tend to I found a girl to help mend you And when I left, I held her hand Said I won't be back again She beat my chest and slapped my face Told me it was all a waste But when I leave, she'll cry a bit And one day she'll get over it And not stare out car windows Looking for you, like I do Cause you said Hold me, closely So that your words might warm my ears The wind is cold today The world's been cold for years And I said I'll hold you down If you should start to float Cause I'm scared of the clouds And the places you might go And she said Don't hold me down I have no place to be And I promise if I leave You haven't seen the last of me No
