Your Laugh Could Kill the Cold

I never heard your song again Your laugh could kill the cold I never knew loss like that my friend Your youth was no way old I never could come back here again My stories I’ve never told I never slept still and alright again always feeling too bloody cold I never said thanks to you my friend the years of battles had taken hold You gave your life to protect me your friend and I can feel you truth be told I crouch here and touch your grave my friend. Your headstone is so cold. I cry tears for the years of you my friend when we joked we’d never grow old. I came here to see you my friend, to honour your beautiful soul. I never heard your song again Your laugh could kill the cold.
