Cold Hands Lyrics by Keywest

True North

2017

[Verse 1]
He said, "Call me the king of the street
'Cause I rule over all you can see"
But he was living like an outcast
His kingdom in a shot glass
But his castle is made out of sand
So he slept in a doorway instead
And although the buzz keeps him flying high
He misses his daughter sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you close your eyes
You can see the man
The man he used to be
Someone like you and me

[Chorus]
Reaching out with cold hands
Reaching out with cold hands
Reaching out with cold hands
Reaching out with cold hands

[Verse 2]
He was working from 7 to 5
Barely scraping enough to survive
To make that move on Wall Street
He ends up sitting on his car seat

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you close your eyes
You can see the man
The man he used to be
Someone like you and me

[Chorus]
Reaching out with cold hands
Reaching out with cold hands

[Bridge]
And when all you've built
Comes crashing down
When the ones you love
Leave you down and out
You reach out with cold hands

[Verse 3]
So I stand on the streets and I sing
Telling stories of where I've been
And all the people I've met on the way
But my guitar's getting harder to play

[Chorus]
'Cause I play with cold hands
Singing songs with cold hands

[Bridge]
And when all you've built
Comes crashing down
When the ones you love
Leave you down and out
You reach out with cold hands

[Chorus]
You reach out with cold hands
