New Settlement Road Journey To Odelle lyrics

She blew the coldest kiss I ever saw
She would make the perfect picture now
If only I could draw on my many years
Of swallowed tears and raindrops
The remains of all the things my father said before he went away

There's a will and there's a way
Always a price to pay
And a coldness in the wind on Christmas day

She threw the sharpest knife that ever tore
Through this fabric made of everything
He'd ever done before
Oh, and many a time
I stood right in the middle
Trying to break up
The angry conversation and the trouble it would make

How could you walk away?

There'll be a price to pay
And a coldness in the wind, Oh

We moved into a house that had a name
And a tank up on the roof that we could drink from when it rained
Oh, so many times
I fell off trying to fix it in the night
But eventually I landed on my feet and knew that everything would be alright

I don't know how to say
That I'd never turned away
From the coldness in the wind on Christmas day
There's a will and there's a way
Always a price to pay
And a coldness in the wind on Christmas day
