LEARN TO LOVE THE COLD
Brenn HillDefenders Recording Co (BMI)

Verse 1:
On a quest to be a cowboy I was caught out in a storm
In a rush of early winter with a badly broken arm
In the shadows of White Mountain through the pinion and the sage
I was ridin' the blue stallion when he broke into a rage

So I walked down off the mountain for I had no other choice
I was fightin' to stay conscious when I heard a gentle voice
It was almost like a whisper but it was strong and sweet and bold
Said if you're gonna be a cowboy better learn to love the cold

Chorus:
Love the winds that blow against you
Love the dust inside your eyes
Love the thirst and love the hunger
And the unforgiving skies
You will surely love the freedom
You'll be strong and wise and bold
You will one day make a hand
If you learn to love the cold

Verse 2:
So I settled in Wyomin with the woman that I love
And we vowed to love forever but our love was not enough
For we had to make a livin' in the cold Wyomin Wind
And we tried to start a family but the cold wind blew again

He was just a fallen angel for this world he was too good
In a quiet cemetery we buried him the best we could
And again I heard the whisper It was strong and sweet and bold
Said if you're gonna be a father better learn to love the cold

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:
And now many years have passed us many summers turn to fall
It's the time that I feel most alive and what I love most of all
Is the sweet chill of October It is strong and sweet and bold
And know that if I die tomorrow I have learned to love the cold
Yes you will someday make a hand if you learn to love the cold
