[Verse] Cold breath lingers on the air tonight Streetlights hum a tired yellow fight Shadows stretch like they’ve got nowhere to go I hear the whispers of the frost below [Chorus] Cold and dreary It’s all I see A ghost town trapped inside of me No sun No warmth Just shades of gray Cold and dreary It won’t go away [Solo - wild drums only] [Verse 2] Footsteps vanish in the falling snow Each one fading like a secret you know The clock is ticking but the time feels still A hollow wind moves with a quiet will [Prechorus] It’s not the dark It’s not the rain It’s the chill that’s seeped into my veins [Chorus] Cold and dreary It’s all I see A ghost town trapped inside of me No sun No warmth Just shades of gray Cold and dreary It won’t go away [Bridge] I try to light a fire but the flame won’t stay The matches burn out and they drift away A frozen echo of a summer tune The frost writes verses on the face of the moon [Solo - screaming electric guitar]
