04 Cold Feet Lyrics

There was a little boy once upon a time
Who in spite of his young age and small size
knew his mind
For every copper penny and clover he would
find
Make a wish for better days the end of hard
times
For no more cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
His clothes were always clean
His face was always scrubbed
There was food on the table enough to fill him
up
His house was full of life - His house was full
of love
But when winter days arrived
There was never money enough to shod his
cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He grew up to be a worker determined to
succeed
He made a life for himself, free from worldly
wants or needs
But with nobody to share the life he'd made
No body to keep him warm at night
When he'd go to sleep he'd sleep alone with
his cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
One night he walked the street looking to the
heaven's above
Searching for a shooting star a benevolent
God
When a woman passing by brushed his arm
He turned and found love
He then wished for the courage to ask this
stranger
Who she was to not have cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He thought she'd like the party life and want
the finer things
So he promised more than he could buy
And he promised her the sun and moon to not
have cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He worked day and night his fingers to the
bone
Hi worried mind guilty conscience drive him
on
He can't give her what she needs
He wants to give her what he thinks she
wants
Her sad-eyed face, his empty pockets drive
him on and his cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He'd struggled all his life to be an honest man
Proud that the dirt on his palms was the soil
of the land
But some guys he knew from high school days
Said they had a plan to get rich quick
And they could count him in if he don't have
cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He thought about their offer accepted it
without qualms
Dreamt about the life he'd buy
The comfort that would come without cold
feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He decided to tell his wife things would soon
turn around
He said the little boy is dead
A man stands with you now without cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
Without cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He thought he'd set his clock right, He though
he'd read his watch
He left in such a hurry he didn't think to wish
for luck
Makes no difference if you're early, No
difference if you're late
When you're out of time, The flowers have
been laid
You're six feet underground
With cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
