lyrics

Well I tried to tell my baby the cold is coming fast
She promised me the palm trees before my lips began to chap
Bought this land for nothing and then her daddy he got sick
Now he’s gone she can’t move on afraid his memories lose their grip

Hard to bleed a winter when you got no one to love
When the air’s a blade you breathe your heart gets cut

Buried him in the backyard with a bouquet from the county
Gun shot banged the whole town sang this bed of leaves around me
Now my radio plays so quiet says she hears him speaking
Halo moon why so soon everything's turned to freezing

Hard to bleed a winter when you got no one to love
When the air’s a blade you breathe your heart gets cut

Now there’s a friend I got in Cabo house right on the beach
I said girl let’s leave tomorrow before the white daggers take the trees
She combed her hand through her pretty hair looked at me for a while
Said I'm not leaving my daddy here then she kissed me cold as ice

Hard to bleed a winter when you got no one to love
When the air’s a blade you breathe your heart gets cut
When the air’s a blade you breathe your heart gets cut
