Artist: David Bowick
Song: Colder in Columbus
Part of the song: whole song
[Intro]
[Verse]
The sticky south has lost its touch
Dented hood a busted clutch
Loosened up its Bible belt
From ice cream that no longer melts
I feel a chill now in my throat
Like a thought that was never spoke
No condensation on my glass
Like I sang a song and no one clapped
[Chorus]
And now it is colder in Columbus
As we sing a soft and lonely hymn
And now it is colder in Columbus
Itâs as cold now as your skin
[Verse]
Who ordered all this ice?
Hope they didnât charge us twice
I used to hate the feel of sweat
Now Iâm hoping I never forget
A stuffy room full of tough old men
Canât even cry when they say Amen
Zoe knew you left the earth
She said it felt like Leoâs birth
[Chorus]
And now it is colder in Columbus
As we sing a soft and lonely hymn
And now it is colder in Columbus
Itâs as cold now as your skin
[Verse]
Your wife gave more than you asked
Enough love that could fill a glass
I donât know who could ask for more
Than to live in the clothes you wore
Do it well or not at all
Was never written on your wall
[Chorus]
And now it is colder in Columbus
As we sing a soft and lonely hymn
And now it is colder in Columbus
Itâs as cold now as your skin
