"You're Cold" lyrics - THE STEEL WOODS

It's the end of the night
I can hear the river and see the moonlight
As it shines on her hair
But she traded her smile for a stare
And said "You ain't goin' nowhere"

I didn't see her hand
Oh but I could see lightening under her skin
When I spoke of another
And the plans that I had arranged
And how the leaves and feelings they change

[Chorus:]
And she said "Baby I love you can't you see
That I'd give the world to set my heart free
But my hands are tied when I look in your eyes and see
You're nothin' like me
Baby you're cold"

She kneeled and she prayed
And the mud from my blood it just flowed away
And sank in a flow of regret
With the love and the leaves and the blade
And she screamed as I started to fade

[Chorus:]
Baby I love you can't you see
That I'd give the world to set my heart free
But my hands are tied when I look in your eyes and see
The death of a dream
Baby you're cold
