Cold, cold, cold as the cold wind blows Out on highway five there's a field Where sometimes at night people disappear That's the only road that takes me home Across the open prairie and the drifting snow
I was halfway there one frozen dawn When she appeared at the side of the road A woman weeping in the frozen snow Her black hair flyin' across the empty road
I pulled to the shoulder and she fell to the snow But when I stepped from my car and the cold winds blow She drifted away in swirling cold Down through the fields, and the frozen roads
But I heard her how I heard her moan And she called my name in the swirling snow When I turned to run back to my car There was nothing waitin' but her frozen arms
