Light is a candle placed when you’re in love Light is a candle placed when you’re in love Belief is all we know Behold their only ghost Beware the colder weather coming soon Beware the curse of silence in your room They stay in packs so still They bleed while they still kill I owe We play a dead man’s game I own a dead man’s name I owe

Wednesday morning, kid’s asleep 5 AM, flip on the heat Sweet soft chatter on the window pane Wintertime whisper of a gentle rain Time’s so fleeting, man, the seasons change Aint feeling great, but it’s alright It’s alright Wife’s draggin’ ass again, comes as no surprise I’m up at 5 AM and she’s up, 6:45 I’m an early riser, man, and that’s okay Always seems harder on these cold and rainy days Can’t find the will to speak, but I got so much to say It sure ain’t easy, but it’s alright It’s alright Look at the news, world’s on the brink We all gone crazy, Lawd, too much to think Make the girl’s some breakfast, take em for a ride Rainy days and taxicabs, smooth as electric slide Ain’t a bad morning, damn glad to be alive Thought I might tell ya that it’s alright It’s alright

(William Nesmith on the microphone. Let me tell you a little bit about me) I’m chilly A little icy, little nice a little silly I run it back on every track Like it’s a relay And I been flexin’ on my haters Now they feel me No, really I’m chilly, I got a coat in the booth And you would think I hocked a loogie How I’m spitting the truth I been chilling when I’m spinning On the 1’s and the 2’s And no, I ain’t the weather section But I stay in the news I keep it freezing on the track Like I’m Elsa from Frozen And every time I hit the mic You would think it was snowing I’m like the Energizer bunny I’m going and going And if you really didn’t know Well you need to be knowing Chilly, word to TLC Already told you I was cold But you ain’t wanna believe I see you shivering baby Maybe now you’ll agree That you gotta bundle up Before you listen to me I’m chilly, not the kind in the pot But I’m a five-alarm fire When I gotta get hot I got a flow cold enough To make the temperature drop I bring it downnnn Like it ain’t gon’ stop I’m Willy Nes, I’m Willy Nes And I’m cold on the keys and the melodies And I got all the freeze for my enemies I’m chilly, I’m chilly

Heard you called me from the old house yesterday I was coming home from parts unknown But you don’t answer when I call you, anyway I don’t know If I remember you folded cards Numbers lost Notes you’ll never read The hands you shook Advice you took Someday you might need Did you never learn how to trust anybody? Did you never learn to need anyone? Days and nights alone just the promise of winter To save you from the night Caught a station through the static on the radio They were calling for a freeze tonight I was wondering how you might be holding up No one knows Who could reach you there? folded cards Numbers lost Notes you’ll never read The hands you shook Advice you took Someday you might need Did you never learn how to trust anybody? Did you never learn to need anyone? Days and nights alone just the promise of winter To save you from the night

What are we saying to our children When we can’t even follow rules When we can’t act like decent people When we run around just like fools What are we showing them when we talk Crossing fingers behind our backs Crossing bridges with the matches lit Crossing opinions with the facts CHORUS Who are we To think that we Are so fucking important We can’t see The things that we Should be making important What will we do When the bill comes due (And they come for me and you) What are we doing to their future Shoving the weak ones to the side Shoving their noses right in it Shoving their hopes with our pride What are saying to our children When we act like we don’t even care When we put our petty selves first When we can’t be bothered to share Chorus BRIDGE: You count your blessings While you count your pennies, You owe them more than that You pray but still It won’t cover the bill You owe them more than that Winter is coming...

Night is falling Faster than the days were If you listen You can hear the change of weather Sounds like its colder Sounds like it's colder outside The howling wind It seeks to tell a story Of younger days And older glories But now is the moment Now is the moment to try If you'd hold your head a little higher You would see all things above the wire But still you look down Still you look down tonight When the day comes Everything is so new But in the darkness The choices they unnerve you So why in the middle Why in the middle all the time For once I’d like to see you shine Think outside the lines (The howling wind It seeks to tell a story Sometimes I wonder If you see what I see) Sometimes I wonder If you see what I see A beautiful soul Lost in all the hurry Why do you worry Why do you worry all the time Night is falling Faster than the days were If you listen You can hear the change of weather It sounds like its colder Sounds like it's colder outside It's cold outside

Towel on the Radiator Baby oh baby it’s cold outside Wish we could put a log on the fire Baby oh baby it’s cold outside do you miss the summertime We don’t have a fireplace We only have a fire escape We don’t have a fire to keep us warm Put another towel on the radiator Put another towel on the radiator Put another towel on the radiator and leave the cold behind Baby oh baby let’s cuddle up I see the ice from the freezing rain Baby oh baby let’s cuddle up I see the Ice on the window pane We don’t have a fireplace We only have a fire escape We don’t have a fire to keep us warm Put another towel on the radiator Put another towel on the radiator Put another towel on the radiator and leave the cold behind

“Didn’t Prepare” Listen up There’s nothing left in this cup It’s gotten cold and empty Like my hollow soul Growing old Same complaint, nothing fresh, bold I’ve gotten cold and empty Nothing else to say Look in the mirror What a sorry excuse for plans made Go back to bed Sleep to silence my head I knew it was it coming But I didn’t prepare

Ain't It Cold? Rosy cheeks are a good indicator it's time to employ some heat I didn't know it had gotten so Wintry 'til my bum hit the toilet seat Ain't it brisk? Ain't it chilly? Ain't it cold? My knees are creaking and the batteries are struggling, the symptoms of a Mercury drop Mama throw another log on the fire, I'll cut the veggies for the soup pot 'Cause it's cold. Ain't it cold? When the crows get to flocking, pecking on the roof, making that hellified sound Wash up your scarves, wash up your mittens, because The Old Man is coming 'round 'Come the cold, about to be cold Ain't it cold?

North of Quebec Beside the Strait of Belle Isle A fur trapper ghost Roams the tundra wild With eight white dogs In bitter wind on his sleigh He must atone for the sins That slammed the afterworld gate Through Labrador towns He brought his cruel ways And the richest of furs To dodge the constable's gaze He guzzled their mead Three sheets to the wind He tormented maidens Provoked the town's men Now he wanders alone Across the desolate land His phantom furs Flapping in the wind Wanderers lost Shivering cold Led by his sleigh Will find their way home None know for sure How he met his demise Did he freeze with his dogs Or was he slain with a knife? All they can tell Is that he wanders and waits In hopes that his deeds Might unseal his fate He wanders alone Across the desolate land His phantom furs Flapping in the wind Wanderers lost Shivering cold Led by his sleigh Will find their way home Once a fellow trapper Blinded and bitten Flirted with death In a terrible blizzard Wrapped by a ghost In the finest of skins He awoke by a fire In a room at an inn He wanders alone Across the desolate land His phantom furs Flapping in the wind Wanderers lost Shivering cold Led by his sleigh Will find their way home

about

The first assignment comes from Jerry: "Write a song that feels like winter. Or it can be about winter. Or it can just have the word 'cold' in it.”
