I never found out what, she never gave me anything
Was I just here to pass the time, cold hearted lover of mine
I want her to turn and see
This lonely shadow walking with you
By shape of poor design, cold hearted lover of mine

She has nothing left to show, nothing left to give me
These chains are old, and her arms too weak
Her lips too dry to kiss me
Wanting to hang my line, cold hearted lover of mine

Though summer's heat is long, her road is long and cold
There is no sentence to fit her crime
And no time to let the wisdom age
These falling beams of light, they colour my sleepless eyes
But she falls beneath that line, cold hearted lover of mine

She don't think she's wrong, she just thinks it easy
Somebody let her know that I shouldn't be the one
To feel as though I'm empty
Don't drag me down to the water's edge
To see it dry beneath me
With no money left to pay her fine
Cold hearted lover of mine
I guess she'll drink my blood like wine
Cold hearted lover of mine
