Lyrics

A freezing city street
Been stumbling down dark allies
Cigarettes and whisky
Bulging out my jeans
Alone on New Year's Eve
The lights they shine all dim and displeased
Each one seems
Just as lonely as I am

In the coldest of nights
A hard lost fight
And here I am, wondering if you'd ever love me again
But where do you sleep
How can you in this damn city
Dreaming of the simple life
Deep out in the Tennessee countryside

A kingdom cut from ice
Among the multiplying high-rises
And I wonder how it is
A heart so soft has been covered in thistles
But I'd burn this whole city down
Had I only a match to set a spark
But alone I can't hold my hands
Still enough to start the blaze

In the coldest of nights
A hard lost fight
And here I am, wondering if you'd ever love me again
But where do you sleep
How can you in this damn city
Dreaming of the simple life
Deep out in the Tennessee countryside

Annabell
We went from beauty to burnin' alone in hell
Aw honey, you gotta try and explain
Where you been
My cars been parked outside you ain't letting me in
Can't we just go back to where we belong?
Go back to where we belong?

Where the hills roll endlessly
Like the tears stream down my cheeks
And I can't get them outta my dreams
Or forget what they mean to me
