Cold
Danzig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold, cold rain
In my eyes
You'll see your sad reflection

come the rain
Although
I'll be there
there's no end
To the pain
Of feelings left behind me

oh, I'm bad
In my heart
I've been shown
I can try to wipe away the hate
It won't let go

there's got to be some place
I can call my home
There's got to be some place

cold, cold rain
In my eyes
The stinging still reminds me
Cold, cold rain, yeah
All my life
Forever





[repeat chrous]
