Lyrics The Handsome Family

The Handsome Family

Cold, Cold, Cold

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

Out on highway five there's a field

Where sometimes at night, people disappear

That's the only road that takes me home

Across the open prairie and the drifting snow

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

I was halfway there one frozen dawn

When she appeared at the side of the road

A woman weeping in the frozen snow

Her black hair flying across the empty road

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

I pulled to the shoulder and she fell to the snow

But when I stepped from my car in the cold wind's blow

She drifted away in the swirling cold

Down through the fields and their frozen rows

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

But I heard her howl, I heard her moan

And she called my name in the swirling snow

When I turned to run back to my car

There was nothing waiting but her frozen arms

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows

Cold, cold, cold

As the cold wind blows
