Cold Hearted Wind

Ron Sexsmith


Some morning you may find yourself alone 
And there'll be no warning 
Should the wind of change start blowin' 

Cold hearted wind 
Is blowin' in the face of love 
But I'll take it to a place I know 
Where the cold hearted wind don't go 

Been brewin' ever since the world began 
It could mean the ruination 
Of your best laid plans 

Cold hearted wind 
Is moving on from every side 
Dividing all goodwill has tried 
To mend and to unite 

You wonder if it's gone for good 
As I ponder that unlikelihood 
Oh, if only wishing could 
Just keep us from harm's way always 

But I feel it like a train rollin' down the track 
As it calls for you 
To entertain these thoughts so black 

Cold blooded storm 
May turn the warmest heart to stone 
And leave a trail of toppled hopes and dreams 
Where the cold hearted wind has blown 

Cold hearted wind 
Is blowin' in the face of love 
But I'll take you to a place I know 
Where the cold hearted wind don't go
