Lyrics

10. Bitter Wind



Oh, oh, it’s a bitter wind that blows

It’s a bitter wind that blows you back my way



All the miles in between now and used to be

Aren’t enough to shield me from this cold

All the guilt on my shoes, all the time I have not used

All the time I have not used just slipped away



And the scheming and the tears

Come howlin’ back through the years

They come howlin’ back through the years

Like they’re here to stay



bridge

Did you keep me in your sight, did you hunt me through the night

Did you follow all the crumbs I left behind

Did the blood and the gore tip you off, make you sure

Make you sure that I really wouldn’t mind



'Cause I’m just too weak to do anything but sleep

To do anything at all would mean a choice

Will I run, will I freeze, will I crumble to my knees

I will crumble as you embrace me so hard



And the gnawin’ at the door, I can’t stand it anymore

I can’t stand to know it'll eat its way inside

And then, once it’s in, the end will begin

The end will begin with a sigh



Oh, oh, it’s a bitter wind that blows

It’s a bitter wind that blows you back my way
