Michelle Shocked - Cold Comfort lyrics

And I know it's cold comfort They found him a guilty man But it don't feel like justice And it was not a first offense Heavy drink was on his breath Her d**h was on his hands Now you must look into his eyes For your consolation prize And I know that's cold comfort You held your father in your arms While you cry like a baby But you were too cold to mourn By the fireplace late last night You tried there to get warm But the fire would not start And so you sat there in the dark You feel your body growing numb It will thaw in a year or ten It happens to everyone Mmm, friends can only watch and wait While the seasons slowly change It is a fact of life that we learn to live again And I know it's cold comfort But you know, winter will soon be here And except for the holidays, except for the holidays It's a fine time of year Skies are turning grey Snow will fall so deep You don't want comfort, you only want to sleep You only want to sleep And I know it's cold, cold, cold, cold,cold
