Winter Wind

I can hear
 The devil in the wind
 I can feel him
 Pulling on my skin
 Cold winds
 Flowing through the home
 The bitterness
 The bitterness
 I can't see
 Nothing in his fists
 But he looks back
 Arms out tightly
 It's a slow move
 I don't seem to care
 But I'm falling back
 Just standing there
 Mud in the water
 Blood in the water
 Wait for me
 Someone's coming up and I just can't see
 Make me believe
 That this ain't the end of you and me
 I can feel winter in the wind
 The coldness is coming to an end
 Cold hands covering my eyes
 Your hands are these, your hands
 Mud in the water
 Blood in the water
 Wait for me
 Someone's coming up and I just can't see
 Make me believe
 That this ain't the end of you and me
 Mud in the water covering my eyes
 Blood in the water covering my eyes
 Mud in the water covering my eyes
 Blood in the water
 Wait for me
 Wait for me
 Wait for me
 Wait for me
 This ain't a garden with pretty odd flowers
 Just the green, green grass
 She holds her heart
 He keeps on killing time
 With his eyes on the dates
 Figuring the lies in the ages, somehow
 This ain't her service, but dark is the pit
 And heavy the stars in the dirt
 They hold the chains that keep on falling
 To places that we shouldn't be
 Beliving it could never be me
 Never be me
 No one's standing tall
 Long is the fall
 As the hope grows small
 The earth that is filled keeps steady with the ground we walk
 How much longer must a mother keep her faith?
 Both her hands are filled with more than what she gave
 All the tears falling from her face
 River flows around her as she waits
 No one's standing tall
 And no, here's the fall
 As the hope grows small
 The blood that was spilt, we'll never know all that well
