Nothing's too far when you've been at the bar Until you can't control your car A bridge too far And you can't ignore The gaudy lights on the hospital doors.

Cold Knees 02:38
Never has a tree looked So untouched by modern men The bitter fens winds Still burn modern skin Cold knees hit floor They wanted nothing more His mother's weary face It sobers childhood drenched in light Our friendships pass But none so cruel and sharp Cold knees hit floor I wanted nothing more

I trod on your heels And quivered Fuel to the fire That I'll extinguish Make it safe on your own Because memories fold And I'm letting it go Make it safe on your own Because promises fold And I'm letting it go
