Cold Irons Bound (Live 2004) Lyrics

I'm beginning to hear voices, there's no one around
I'm all used up, and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday, and she passed by
My love for her, taking such a long time to die

I'm waist deep in the mist
It's almost like I don't even exist
I'm 20 miles out of town in the cold, iron-bound
20 miles out of town in cold, iron-bound

The walls of pride are high and wide
You can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
But, it's sadder still to feel your heart torn away

One look at you, and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm 20 miles out of town in cold, iron-bound
20 miles out of town in cold, iron-bound

You know, there's too many people, can't even recall all
I thought some of them were friends of mine, I was wrong about them all
The road is rocky and the hillside is mud
Up over my head, nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world in you, yeah
But your love just hasn't proved true
I'm 20 miles out of town in cold, iron-bound
20 miles out of town in cold, iron-bound

You know, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
I'm gonna remember forever the joy that we shared

I'm looking at you, and I'm on my bended knee
You have no idea, what you do to me
I'm 20 miles out of town, in cold, iron-bound
20 miles out of town, in cold, iron-bound
