I was sick of going door to door all day
Trying to make the money to raise a baby
Wasn’t getting paid, so my hope faded
It rained everyday but sunday

Before that I’d been working for dimes
Living by the road, looking for a good time
One year feels like ten
Learning who was and isn’t friend

And now I havn’t got socks and my shoes got holes in em’
Wearing plastic-bags on my feet and it’s snowing
Yeah, yeah that winds’ still blowing
Carrying the deeds of my sewing

I was cold, I was cold to ya
Back then I couldn’t care
I was cold I was cold to ya
Maybe I just was scared
I was cold I was cold to ya
Little bones Couldn’t bare
I was cold I as cold to ya
Your heart of gold didn’t treat you fair

Just two drunks having it out
Met you up on our way out
Wasn’t worth my weight in salt
But like vinegar I’ll linger

The way you glowed in Clear Lake
And gave me your last pills to take
The way I growled when you woke me up
But I left you with a full cup

(CHORUS)

Picked you up in Peterborough
I was on a roof in a wheel-barrow
he hard truths’ that I’m a sparrow
Shooting you with bow and arrows

Somethign changed I wasn’t right
Didn’t hold you close and tight
My love dies after it flowers
Gone to seed within hours

(CHORUS)


I let you go out East alone with my duffle bag
Figured it the least I could do as the Dad
But I’m still a child can’t stay in one place
I’m in denial so I run like a race

But we shared the stars, hitched trucks and cars
Met in the forest, I found an ounce for us
And at first ho could I know
That you’d become the Mum to my own

...

On that November’s night
In the rain over the pay phone
I heard your pain, I caught your fright

And I’d be a thieving, yellow, liar
If I said that relief hadn’t met desire

But I’m still grieving, I’m still broken
Seething with these amends that need to be spoken...

I was cold I was cold to ya...
Back then I couldn’t care
I was cold I was cold to ya...
Yeah I was scared
I was cold I was cold to ya...
Baby bones couldn’t bare
I was cold I was cold to ya...
Your heart of gold didn’t treat you fair...

I’ve done you wrong...didn’t know that I came...
I’ve done you wrong...did you know that I came?
I’ve done you wrong...we had the perfect name...
I’ve done you wrong...dandelions all the same...

Dandelions all the same...
