(Verse 1)
The wind is whispering through the pecan trees
Bringing the ghost of you down to its knees
I’m pulling the blankets up over my head
Trying to fill up your side of the bed
The window is rattling, a shiver of glass
Watching the heat of our memories pass
Just close your eyes, though the fire is low
The sky's turning gray and the shadows are slow.
(Chorus)
So go to sleep in this Texas Cold Front
Let the frost settle deep in your soul
The summer is over, the story is told
And the nights are too long to be bold
Let the north wind sing you a sad lullaby
Under a wide and a lonely black sky
Safe in the quiet, away from the pain
Of the Texas Cold Front and the freezing rain.
(Verse 2)
The cattle are huddling out in the dark
The hearth is holding its very last spark
It’s funny how fast a blue sky can turn cold
Like a promise that’s lived until it grew old
I’ll dream of the July where we used to lay
Before the November took you away
So drift on the river that’s turning to ice
Falling in love was a heavy price.
(Chorus)
So go to sleep in this Texas Cold Front
Let the frost settle deep in your soul
The summer is over, the story is told
And the nights are too long to be bold
Let the north wind sing you a sad lullaby
Under a wide and a lonely black sky
Safe in the quiet, away from the pain
Of the Texas Cold Front and the freezing rain.
(Bridge)
The mercury's falling, the world’s turning white
Hide your heart in the middle of the night
When you wake up, the ground will be hard
And I'll be a stranger in our own backyard.
(Outro)
Sleep now...
While the world freezes over.
Just a Texas Cold Front...
Closing the door.
I won’t hurt anymore.
