Oh my sisters have been gone for too long
And all my brothers sing the same damn song
And my lover is as far away as she could be
And I don't know where that leaves me
Oh, my mother, I wish I could have said
Thanks for all the times you tucked my heart in bed
To my father for all the things that you taught to me
About living life deep within the trees
Oh there's a cold
Oh there's a cold
Oh there's a cold autumn wind
Moving on in
I left home just ten weeks ago
And the workload's a pilin' but my hands are moving slow
Because my feet ache for a path they don't know
Not a desk and a bed to call a home
So I'm drinking more whiskey than I ever thought I could
A wine bottle for pleasure and a beer for being good
And the days soon become obsolete
To the man that I call night time me
Oh there's a cold
Oh there's a cold
Oh there's a cold autumn wind
Moving on in
So I'm sitting in a room, high about the ground
Singing about silence is a space made for sound
And the piano cries from the other room
It's tired of singing the same tune
Oh there's a cold
Oh there's a cold
Oh there's a cold autumn wind
Moving on in
Oh my sisters have been gone for too long
And all my brothers sing the same dam song
And my lover is as far away as she could be
And I don't know where that leaves me
