Lyrics:

A Cold Spring Day In ́22

Did you see the footprints in the snow Coming from the woods?
In the attic I heard footsteps on the floor Has someone come back for good?
That couldn’t be, my love was killed in World War One Sure this kid is not your son
I know my father dreamed of taking more than I could give Don’t believe that he’s the one
Something’s in the air
Why should we even care Our home’s safe and secure
Gone Forever
Time has left six corpses without heads Different people, different points of view Gone forever
The secret of a family found dead
On a cold spring day in ’22
The cows were milked, there was smoke from cooking food It seems that everyone’s alive
But four days later they found everybody dead
The fact is no-one did survive
Something’s in the air
Why should we even care Our home’s safe and secure
Gone Forever
Time has left six corpses without heads Different people, different points of view Gone forever
The secret of a story bathed in red
On a cold spring day in ’22
Gone Forever
The secret of six murders in one night Four days lying in the dark
waiting for the morning light

It's been a long time since i last had a goose bump listening to the radio! Love this song. The guitar is awesome 😊

[SusanC]

My absolute most favorite band is now
RPWL❣️You guys took your PinkFloyd cover era,
& jumped quantum levels beyond. I'm from
Seattle & keep checking for potential trips
anywhere to see you guys in concert-and
not at a ProgFest-I don't want to share😏...
although, I'd love to hit one of those sometime.
Stay safe!

[franca]

Everything in this song is perfect and the lyrics motivated me to look up that murder case. Wonderful melody, instrument playing and video! Thank you for that gift of a song.

Über Pink Floyd und Ray Wilson, habe ich euch gefunden. Ich muss sagen, bisher habe ich kaum eine Band gefunden, die mir gleich so gut gefällt. Ihr macht einen tollen Job. Jeder von euch! Daher meine Frage. Wann seid ihr mal wieder im Norden (Raum Bremerhaven/Bremen) auf Tour? Ich würde euch sehr gerne ein Mal Live hören. Liebe Grüße aus Bremerhaven, macht weiter so und bleibt alle gesund. :)

[buffplums]

I love this band and only recently discovered … another fab band to add to my current fav Prog bands / artists Lifesigns, Magenta, Big Big Train, Peter Jones, Rob Reid

[reinoutschrijver]

Awesome, looking forward to your live show in the Netherlands 👌

[RPZ]

Looking forward to hearing the new album and seeing it performed live in Glasgow ❤
