Lyrics

Every day is a walking day,
It's a long way back to youth they say.
And my hair is so grey and my face so old,
Nothing beats strong in the cold.

Said for you I'd break all the rules,
But my lies are subtle as my truths and these winds
Blow sweet across my face
The stale ones bite like hurricanes,yeah they do.

Oh they do.

My heart beats slow,
It fades away,
Into the backdrop of brighter days.
The air bleeds thin, it takes away my fear.
Of ending here.

I walked a mile in my sisters' shoes,
I found honesty, heart, love and truth.
So I spent the day with my father's hands,
I found work, smiles and laughs.

Taught me to earn everything I get,
Never leave it up to anyone else they said
And my hair is so grey, my face so old
Nothing beats strong in the cold.
In the cold.

Repeat chorus.

Now we lie, side by side.
I've waited for you for sometime.
And our hair is so grey and our faces old.
Nothing beats strong in the cold.
