The Handsome Family
Cold, Cold, Cold
Out on highway five, there's a field
Where sometimes at night people disappear
That's the only road that takes me home
Across the open prairie and the drifting snow
Cold, cold, cold, as the cold wind blows
I was halfway there, one frozen dawn
When she appeared at the side of the road
A woman weeping n the frozen snow
Her black hair flying across the empty road
Cold, cold, cold, as the cold wind blows
I pulled to the shoulder and she fell to the snow
But when I stepped from my car in the cold wind's blow
She drifted away in the swirling cold
Down through the fields and their frozen rows
Cold, cold, cold, as the cold wind blows
But I heard her howl and I heard her moan
And she called my name in the swirling snow
But when I turned to run back to my car
There was nothing waiting but her frozen arms
Cold, cold, cold, as the cold wind blows
