Rosebuds - When It's Cold lyrics

When we get home, the porch lights on We step inside, next to the iron stove And Christmas time is about to start The tree's lit up with all the broken hearts So all night long we dig to find Up in the attic where all the boxes hide The lights and cheer, for another year And the kids are jumping from the arms of the chairs But it's cold, outside, and sitting here next to the lights So let's go out into the ice and snow and wait on the roof until away we go Put on our scarves, breath in the cold and just hold on tight until away we go When the family comes, we smile and smile some more The white sand turns into a dirty floor It's Christmas time, kids wrestle outside And the older cousins all smoke and hide Uncles eat, and watch the TV set And the waiting dogs are there to steal what's left It's half a song, then they're moving on And the sweet tea's got em all singing along But it's cold, outside, sitting here next to the lights So let's go out into the ice and snow and wait on the roof until away we go Put on our scarves, breath in the cold and just hold on tight until away we go
