So, I've got the vinyl in front of me which contains the lyrics. It's free verse, but I'll put it into stanzas as you lot have above. Some of the lyrics written down are different from what he sings, but most are the same. Lovely song! Cold Bread Well I'm sure you're near, and I can almost smell you, But the winds are up at the walls again. I can hear you coming-Heaven helped you coming- I believe in heaven it's a way away. Did you learn just how I've missed you? (recording: "how I loved you") Did you see how far I've been? Would you meet me in an hour? I could tell you what I've seen... what I've seen Cold Bread... Cold Bread... we had. Put your wine (not whine) in water pull your chips back in I saw you crawl like a crab across black friar's bridge Suffer naught to fate (as in, "take no chances"), hit the homeward road, I'm a bowling green, I'm a livery boy Have a heart that (which) skips a beat Oh, come on! Roll along for free In the middle of the morning. Swap your drinking nights with me... with me. Cold Bread... Cold Bread... we had. (x2) Genius musical interlude. I can live dying, I can chew my bit, And play pander to my senses and hijack my head Eat the rhythm of moving and a rolling and a rattle. It's a giving instead, it's a well sprung bed, We can roll around forever, We can pray for all we've been, We can knock it hell for leather We can call it all a dream... all a dream Cold Bread... Cold Bread... we had. (x2) |
