Please don't lie, don't lie to me
that you're not afraid, my love
I know you well enough to know
you can't be alone

If you were to roll, to roll down your window
you'd find the wind, the ice, the trees
that sway like skeletons outside

But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs

Please don't fight, don't fight with me
and fold your arms like it's the end
Can you smell the sweetness of the soil and snow in the wind?

So we're lost, we're lost out here on the plains, my love
It's only wind and ice and trees that wave from above

But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs

When the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs

Don't lie
Don't cry
It's over
It's only the leaves, the trees
I'll never leave you alone
In this car
In the dark, with the air getting so much colder
It's so clear outside here, in the moon and winter air

But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs

When the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water
it's like a sudden rush of water
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs

The cold, the dark and the silence
The cold, the dark and the silence
The cold, the dark and the silence
The cold, the dark and the silence
The cold, the dark and the silence
The cold, the dark and the silence
