The road seen beneath the van s headlights,
It s cold so cold, cold enough to feel your sigh

My face up against the window now, don t you know it s cold outside,
Pick up your life as I pass by, can t you see I m cold inside

We were poor but we had something,
What wasn t poor was poisoned by your fear,
You wanted more, I gave you nothing,
I may be blind...

Each town, each town it seems the same my dear,
It s loud tonight, your heart is ringing in my ear

Walk out the door across the street, don t you know it s cold outside,
Pick up the phone my signal s weak, can t you see I m cold inside

I think you know...

We were poor but we had something,
What wasn t torn was poisoned by your fear,
You wanted more, I gave you nothing,
I may be blind for I never saw your tears

I think you know...

We were poor but we had something,
What wasn t torn was poisoned by your fear,
You wanted more, I gave you nothing,
I may be blind for I never saw your tears,
As days pass by the gap it now appears,
When I come home please say that you ll be there...
