lyrics

I feel disconnected, feel I’m out of touch
Everything’s as expected so nothing matters all that much
No smile in a mirror can disguise the truth
Every line is a witness to the passing of my youth
With every hour
Wishing I had the power
To bring this to an end

When the east wind blows and the cold it flows
Icy river running through my soul
Then I catch my breath and I catch my death
As it rolls on in, on the east wind
On the east wind

Coffee cup on the table beside your empty chair
You went long before me but I still see you sitting there
We have conversations, we argue and we fuss
Isn’t that what lovers do, isn’t that what’s special to us
I love and miss you
Hug and kiss you
I know you love me too

When the east wind blows and the cold it flows
Icy river running through my soul
Then I catch my breath and I catch my death
As it rolls on in, on the east wind
On the east wind

Here I stand
Head in hands
Eyes too old to be weeping
Here I am
This tired man
Heart too old to be beating

And I feel it coming
Yeah I hope it’s coming
To carry me away

When the east wind blows and the cold it flows
Icy river running through my soul
Then I catch my breath and I catch my death
As it rolls on in, on the east wind
On the east wind
The east wind
The east wind
The east wind
