[Verse 1]
It's the end of the night
I can hear the river and see the moonlight
As it shines on her hair
But she traded her smile for a stare
And said "You ain't goin' nowhere"

[Verse 2]
I didn't see her hand
Oh but I could see lightning under her skin
When I spoke of another
And the plans that I had arranged
And how the leaves and feelings they change

[Chorus]
And she said "Baby I love you can't you see
That I'd give the world to set my heart free
But my hands are tied when I look in your eyes and see
You're nothin' like mе
Baby you're cold"

[Verse 3]
She kneeled and shе prayed
And the mud from my blood it just flowed away
And sank in a flow of regret
With the love and the leaves and the blade
And she screamed as I started to fade
[Chorus]
Baby I love you can't you see
That I'd give the world to set your heart free
But my hands are tied when I look in your eyes and see
The death of a dream
Baby you're cold
