Cold, cold, cold as the cold wind blows
Out on highway five there's a field
Where sometimes at night people disappear
That's the only road that takes me home
Across the open prairie and the drifting snow

I was halfway there one frozen dawn
When she appeared at the side of the road
woman weeping in the frozen snow
Her black hair flyin' across the empty road

I pulled to the shoulder and she fell to the snow
But when I stepped from my car and the cold winds blow
She drifted away in swirling cold
Down through the fields, and the frozen roads

But I heard her how I heard her moan
And she called my name in the swirling snow
When I turned [bad word] back to my car
There was nothing waitin' but her frozen arms

Cold, cold, cold, as the cold wind blows
