[Verse 1]

Well, I'm sure you're near and I can almost smell you

But the winds are up at the walls again

And I can hear you coming, heaven helped you coming

I believe in heaven, it's a way away

Did you learn just how I loved you?

Did you see how far I'd been?

Would you meet me in an hour?

I could tell you what I've seen

What I've seen


[Chorus]

Cold bread

Cold bread

We had


[Verse 2]

Put your wine in water, pull your chips back in

So you crawl like a crab across Blackfriars Bridge

Suffer naught to fate, hit the homeward road

I'm a bowling green, I'm a livery boy

I have a heart 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


[Chorus]

Cold bread

Cold bread

We had

Cold bread

Cold bread

We had


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

I can live with dying, I can chew my bit

And play pander to my senses and hijack my head

It's 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


[Chorus]

Cold bread

Cold bread

We had

Cold bread

Cold bread

We had
