Cold at Night
View ArtistLyrics
Let yourself go in the current Only rise and fall as the angles allow Finally make a break for the surface Breathe in the sweet air of the here and now Wake up in the arms of the earth Fully present at the second birth Well, the first thing you learn is how strong you can be if you have to And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night Let the waves break where they have to break Let the people make ready to approach the throne Two are gonna stumble along the way One is gonna go up alone Fires gathering on a distant peak Let me get some sleep before I speak Well, the first thing you learn is how far you can go with no gas in the tank And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night Lightly row, but this much I know The first thing you learn'll be the last thing to go Sharpen sticks and stab at the tide pools Pitch a camp as close as we can to shore Nobody thought to carry a compass It's not the nineteenth century anymore On the third day, you said you felt sick I could hear the clock tick Well, the first thing you learn is that there's always a clock ticking somewhere (The first thing you learn is that there's always a clock ticking somewhere) And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night Well, the first thing you learn is how strong you can be if you have to So strong And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night (And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night) And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night (And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night) And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night
