lyrics

oh the cold is comin'
you just can't quite see it
but I feel it in the air

and the leaves have fallen
wish that I was leaving
but my home is always here

I got no one here to keep my flame
but I'm burning like a star
and the angels listen to the songs I'm singing
but the angels are too far from here

and my heart starts beating
start that heavy breathing
feels like hands around my throat

but I keep believing
that it's just a feeling
and I hold onto my hope

got no one here to hold my hand
so I'm shaking through the night
and the angels listen to the words I'm singing
but the angels are too far from me

so if the angels cannot hear me
then I'll sing this song to you
and I'll scream my words to heaven
just like they tell me to
just like I ought to do

got no one here to light the way
so I travel in the dark
can you hear me whispering your name
or is the distance just too far

I've got nothing here but time to kill
till I'm buried under earth
and my screams will never make it through
that six foot mound of dirt
so with shaking hands and my eyes closes shut
I will sing and I will play
and the angels listen to the words I'm singing
but the angels are too far from me
