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
