Took some bottles to the liquor store at the bottom of the hill
to buy some candles and a birthday card
and your favorite yellow pills
Growing up outside of nowhere was like growing up alone
but getting lost isn't half as bad as not knowing where to go
I don't know the things that the devil knows
and that cold wind just blows and blows
It's almost a full moon in a dark veil of sky
and somewhere I'm still by your side
Seen the sun up on the mountain, though it was only ten degrees
We huddled up under some blankets and fell asleep watching tv
There must be ice inside the windows, I can't bear to go outside
Woke up freezing from a sunny dream
with every window open wide
And I don't know the things that the devil knows
and that cold wind just blows and blows
It's almost a full moon in a dark veil of sky
and somewhere I'm still by your side
I know that there must be another way
to put the dead to rest
If they could only tell you stories of things
that they remember best
But they only talk in whispers, they only talk inside your head
They talk to you when you're dreaming half asleep
when you're lying in your bed
But I don't know the things that the devil knows
and that cold wind just blows and blows
It's almost a full moon in a dark veil of sky
and somewhere I'm still by your side
