old best friend - cold came with lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when the cold came with the fall
i watched the death of leaves and all
i thought that i would never last the winter

but as the ice is melting down
i stand with both feet on the ground
then the memories bring me to my knees

[verse 2]
now it came as no surprise
my illness came with appetite
hungry for my legs and then my body

and as my knees were growing weak
they heard me singing in my sleep
a melody to take me through the night

[chorus]
i guess it only was a matter of timе
now i’m staring at the ceiling
i thank the lord that i’m still brеathing
thinking, “when did i get so desperate?”

[verse 3]
so i slept in that hotel
full of patients like myself
waiting for a visitor or a ride to take me home
then i find the more time that i wait
it seems the more pills i have to take
but they do wonders to alleviate the pain

[verse 4]
and as the tree begets the seed
there was an illness born in me
my father fell before me then
i know he swore i would fall too

as i lie to rest my head
i feel it creeping back again
because it knows that i would never sleep alone

[chorus]
i guess it only was a matter of time
now i’m staring at the ceiling
i thank the lord that i’m still breathing
thinking, “when did i get so desperate?”

[bridge]
and what it wasn’t wasn’t really what i thought it was
i guess it only was a matter of time
and what it wasn’t wasn’t really what i thought it was

[outro]
on the day of my return
i took the books that i would burn
to rid myself of all that had consumed me
but as the fire kept me warm
i thought i’d done less good than harm
and my aching frame was aching for the sound
