Cold Hand Settles On Me - by Sam Baardman

Sometimes when I'm out walking I feel the streetlights on my head
And sometimes when I try to sleep the night seems lined with lead
I can't block the distant noises or the creaking in my bed
And a cold hand settles on me
A cold hand settles on me

I was talking to an uncle who was old and nearly gone
I asked him if he felt a pull towards the great beyond
He said, "everything I thought was true has turned out to be wrong”
And a cold hand settled on me
A cold hand settled on me

And I was driving down the road, I saw a trailer overturned
When suddenly beside me was a breaking flight of birds
Inside everything of beauty there's a cry that can be heard
And a cold hand settles on me
A cold hand settled on me

Now every day I think about the things that I have seen
I shudder at the world out there but still I can believe
It's you who's always been the one who's stood there in between
When that cold hand settles on me
A cold hand settled on me
