I know it's cold comfort
They found him a guilty man
But it don't feel like justice
And it wasn't a first offense

Heavy drink was on his breath
Her death was on his hands
Now you must look into his eyes
For your consolation prize

And I know that's cold comfort
You held your father in your arms
While he cried like a baby
But you were too cold to mourn
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/michelle+shocked/cold+comfort_20832905.html ]
By the fireplace late last night
You tried there to get warm
But the fire wouldn't start and so you
Sat there in the dark

And I know that's cold comfort
You feel your body growing numb
It will thaw in a year or ten
It happens to everyone

Friends can only watch and wait
While the seasons slowly change
It is a fact of life that we
Learn to live again

And I know that's cold comfort
But winter will soon be here
And except for the holidays
It's a fine time of year

Skies are turning gray
Snow will fall so deep
You don't want comfort
You only want to sleep
