Cold As Canada - Paul Kelly

Morning comes creeping in

Like a sick and pale child

She leaves him there sleeping in

No good way to say goodbye

She turns her face to the sun

She doesn’t have tears to cry

She wonders at what she’s done

No good way to say goodbye

Out of the eater, something to eat

Out of the strong, something sweet

She’s out of shelter

She’s as cold as Canada

She gives herself a talking to

She keeps the blood in her eye

She knows what she has to do

No good way to say goodbye

She’s cold as Canada

What she needs she cannot buy

Oh, do what you can for her

No good way to say goodbye

She’s cold as Canada

She’s cold as Canada
