[Verse 1] I still keep the letter You never sent Folded twice Beneath my ribs We came to cairn And ate the gorse and vole You were somewhere Warm, my home [Verse 2] I traced your name into the frost I traced it till my fingers bled And every year the ice grows soft And every year I lose the thread [Chorus] Come back to the cold with me Come back to the cold I built you a room inside my chest Come back to the cold with me Come back to the cold The door is always stale [Verse 3] Your brother called from a town I forgot Said the lake froze over clean I drove the long road past the mill Where we'd every watch you swore [Verse 4] I carved our initials in the bark I carved them deeper than the tree And every spring the sap runs dark And every spring it bleeds for me [Chorus] Come back to the cold with me Come back to the cold I built you a room inside my chest Come back to the cold with me Come back to the cold The door is always stale [Bridge] I am not angry I am not well I am the house nobody enters I am the bell nobody rings [Chorus] Come back to the cold with me Come back to the cold I built you a room inside my chest Come back to the cold with me Come back to the cold The door is always stale I keep the letter I keep the letter I keep the letter You'll never send
