Our cover/remix of Oh hellos
"Cold is the night".

Cold is the night without you here,
Just silence now, where you were near.
Echoes ring where your voice once lay,
And the light feels miles and years away.

Hard is the heart that don’t know fear,
But without the dark, the joy’s not clear.
Long is the path that winds me back,
Longer still when I walk that track.

Bitter thoughts of time I’ve spent,
Chasin' ghosts with fingers bent.
Searchin’ for what won’t appear,
Holdin’ tight to disappear.

So take this burden off my chest,
Lay it down and let it rest.
Dig a place, six feet deep,
And bury it before it buries me.

Plenty days I’ve wanted to stop,
Fold my coat and let it drop.
Lay meself down in quiet earth,
Forget the weight, forget the hurt.

Heavy hangs a sleepless head,
Draggin’ thoughts like books unread.
We carry years in memory’s grip,
Like bags we never meant to zip.

So take this burden off my chest,
Let it fall and give me rest.
Don’t let this thing swallow me —
Bury it before it buries me.

Steady hands, I’ve learned to hold,
From all the pain and things grown old.
I’ve seen the truths I’ve had to see,
But Lord, this road weren’t meant for me —
Not on me own, not endlessly.

So I’ll wait right here for you,
Like I’ve done my whole life through.
Take my hand — I’ll let it be,
If you take this weight and set me free.

Take this burden off my chest,
Tuck it in and let it rest.
Take my sorrow, take the key —
And bury it before,
Bury it before,
Bury it before it buries me.

Just Like You
