JR Forsyth - Out In The Cold Lyrics

Daddy lost the mill job, they closed it overnight
We packed up the pickup under a sky that had no light
Mama's tears were silent like the snow upon the ground
And the frost bit through our hearts in a tiny listless town
The house we grew up in stood empty and so still
A memory locked inside, a dream that time would kill
We drove past the schoolyard where laughter used to play
But shadows filled the spaces where we used to stay

Out in the cold with no place left to go
Holding on to each other through the wind and snow
Homeless ain't just words, it's a life that takes its toll
We found out in the dark how quickly hearts can grow old

The church gave us blankets, a little room to sleep
But their prayers couldn't fill the holes that ran so deep
Daddy tried to smile, saying things would turn around
But hope got lost just like us, somewhere on the ground
We made a bed of broken dreams in the back of that old truck
Mama's lullabies were whispers, clinging hard to luck
Together we stood strong in a world that broke apart
Holding tight to family with every beat of our hearts

Out in the cold with no place left to go
Holding on to each other through the wind and snow
Homeless ain't just words, it's a life that takes its toll
We found out in the dark how quickly hearts can grow old

We made a bed of broken dreams in the back of that old truck
Mama's lullabies were whispers, clinging hard to luck
Together we stood strong in a world that broke apart
Holding tight to family with every beat of our hearts
