Cold Hands on My Shoulders 2 (versione 2)

Verse 1

Coffee's gone flat on the counter

Steam still rising off my mug

Every streetlight humming slower

You're not coming back to fill it up

Sirens cut through the evening sky

I can feel your footsteps leave

Not a whisper about tomorrow

Just the quiet that you breathe

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm just reading too much into this

Cold hands on my shoulders

Maybe it's just the chill in the air

But I'd rather think it's you who stayed

Chorus

Cold hands on my shoulders

I feel your weight still

Barely warm beneath the collar

Missing you before you've gone

Verse 2

Frost on every windowpane

Your scarf draped over the chair

The bus that took you rolling down

Into the amber of December there

You said I'd find it in my heart

Whatever 'it' is by now

I don't know what kind of start

But this is how I let it grow

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm just reading too much into this

Cold hands on my shoulders

Maybe it's just the chill in the air

But I'd rather think it's you who stayed

Chorus

Cold hands on my shoulders

I feel your weight still

Barely warm beneath the collar

Missing you before you've gone

Bridge

It's not a goodbye yet

Just a gentle letting go of something that could have been

Maybe one day I'll know why

And by then maybe it will mean

Chorus

Cold hands on my shoulders

I feel your weight still

Barely warm beneath the collar

Missing you before you've gone
