Braithwaite - Cold lyrics

I just walked home through unfamiliar lands I just walked home with my prayer in my hands I felt the cold mingling with my skin I wish that you were here and settled in Take the cold off of me, and throw it away Now I know you are the one meant to stay New York was hungry, and New York was gray You are the only one who i will pray for If you asked me to pray I put my eggs in a basket built with gold A basket I found that was strong enough to hold me I'll put my legs in a casket built with wood If I have to stop living for your own good I've been through floodwaters I've been through rain You are the foundation long ago laid When the part of my heart that held friends took a hit You held me tight and helped me over it I'll build my life on a pillar of sand If that's what you want and I'll try to understand Help me to love you when you are awake Cause I can never sleep when I can't see your face
