Rumours telling me you are mourning
And you haven't slept for several days
You've been turning inside out looking for reasons
And your black sorry eyes made you pale

And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all

And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all
And it was cold
And it was cold

If we say that there is something above the mountains
If we say that there is something we can't see
Promise you will never believe me
'Cause I guess I'm just trying to make it easy

And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all

And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all
And it was cold
And it was cold

Everybody was laughing when they found us
One for you and one for me
Then they let us go to hunt us down again
And still you refuse to see
Why everything has to stay ugly

Rumours telling me you are mourning
And you haven't slept for several days
You've been turning inside out looking for reasons
And your black sorry eyes made you pale

And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all

And you couldn't catch them
You couldn't be there
You couldn't help them at all
And it was cold
And it was cold
