Caroline Hecht - Come Cold

I feel the winter growing underneath my skin

I'm on the ice and knowing that it's getting thin

And if I move if I stir if I breathe

Life will come and take itself away from me

Beneath my feet the river's flowing back to the sea

I feel its pull to crack the ice and swallow and take me

But maybe the cold will come and freeze again

Only the cold can help me get safely back to land

So come cold come cold only the cold can save me

There's nothing but the wild wild elements out here

They're taunting me and teasing me and daring me not to feel fear

Would my life be their victory

Or would my death cause some to mourn for me

I'm holding a rare gift in my hand

To die from nature and not from man

Even if I'm swept away I feel that this is love

Nothing but the natural forces around me below and above

So come cold come cold only the cold can save me
