It was a cold comin', the stars upon the ground And the sky was burnin' and all the world was sound It was a love beginnin', my heart upon the straw And the children were singing, outlaw, outlaw, outlaw Do you? Do you sing that song? It was a cold comin', the streets were paved with song You could hear the engines runnin', you could hear them all night long It was a strange communion, His name raised up in lights The old reunion of the rebel with the fight Do you? Do you sing that song? Do you? Do you sing that song? Well it's a cold comin', they're ringin' up the till We tried to keep those waves from breakin', but the winter won't hold still Now, shamed deserter finds comfort in the store Of the cold comin' and the fiery metaphor Of the cold, cold, cold comin' and the fiery metaphor Do you? Do you sing that song? Do you? Do you sing that song? Do you sing that song?
