lyrics

In The Cold of The Night

how'd you get stuck here in my mind she said
I replied with a smile sayin' "darlin you got to me first"
I was steady and alone satisfied with the hand i was dealt
then you appeared like a light house to a ship that fell

and i could see what i'd been searching for
along the seas and the distant shores
it was you my love with open arms
in the cold of the night you kept me safe and warm

sittin' by the river now watchin' the waters break
around the rocks like my heart and all the ripples they make
you're not crazy what you're thinkin' but it aint worth stayin' she said
these contradictions cause conflict, something's missin'
but we still have since

cause you could see what you'd been searchin' for
along the seas and the distant shores
it was i my love with open arms
in the cold of the night you fled to keep from harm

well the best things in life, yeah you never see them comin' your way
ain't that the beauty of surprises, those disguises can't stay in place
convince yourself if that's what helps
i'll climb the walls protecting your heart
and if you insist, one may resist but you're the one who's selling it short
