Lyrics
I?M NOT AFRAID OF THE COLD
He was born in 1910
Sailed the seas and came back again
Got himself a farm near his hometown
He?s plantin? potatoes and plowin? that ground
He married a local girl
She thought he was the handsomest man in the world
And she knew he?d be a good provider
If she?s ever in trouble he?ll be right there beside her
And on the day that they were wed
These are the words he said
It?s gonna be a long hard road
It?s gonna be rocky and rough
I don?t care about all that stuff
I?m not afraid of the cold
?Cause I got love to keep me warm
Give me shelter from the storm
I?ve got all the treasures I can hold
Two good arms to hold me tight
Even through the longest night
I?m not afraid of the cold
The years went by and the children came
They had children and more of the same
Now it?s nearly 1994
The families in decay and the world is at war
All that?s left of the farm is a photograph
And a few old letters dated from the past
A young man?s gonna marry today
He reading through some words that he might want to say
