Cold Mountain Town Unspoken Tradition

[Verse 1]
I have spent all of my life
Lonesome for you, biding the time
Catch you in seams of the sky
Cracks in the wall, and the pain in her eyes
Now you are burning down my cabin home on the hill
Tapping my veins for strangers to come drink their fill

[Chorus]
In this cold mountain town
Where the wolves circle round
And the river runs northbound
In this cold mountain town

[Verse 2]
On streets that once welcomed us in
We break our own hearts again and again
Out of the sides of her mouth
She laughs at us all, song of the south
I hear the music on every street corner as free
No cover charge, but a hell of a price to leave

[Chorus]
In this cold mountain town
Where the wolves circle round
And the river runs northbound
In this cold mountain town
