And I know it's cold comfort

They found him a guilty man

But it don't feel like justice

And it was not a first offense

Heavy drink was on his breath

Her death was on his hands

Now you must look into his eyes

For your consolation prize



And I know that's cold comfort

You held your father in your arms

While you cry like a baby

But you were too cold to mourn

By the fireplace late last night

You tried there to get warm

But the fire would not start

And so you sat there in the dark



You feel your body growing numb

It will thaw in a year or ten

It happens to everyone

Mmm, friends can only watch and wait

While the seasons slowly change

It is a fact of life that we learn to live again



And I know it's cold comfort

But you know, winter will soon be here

And except for the holidays, except for the holidays

It's a fine time of year

Skies are turning grey

Snow will fall so deep

You don't want comfort, you only want to sleep

You only want to sleep



And I know it's cold, cold, cold, cold,cold
