Coldest Day lyrics

No, I never heard through the grapevine

How you left long before your time

But in France on the radio

I could not understand a word

But I thought you'd go

We waited all night

for the midnight lover's calling

It was the coldest day of the year

and I'm still falling

I didn't sleep a wink, but while the radio played

I was day dreaming of what might have been

While the cold night air was freezing

The coldest night, the coldest day of the year

What is happening?

Mother, father please

Who will save us from the autumn breeze

Shivering to April, no one wants to speak too soon

Although we all knew under the pale blue moon

The pale moon, the pale blue moon

What happens then, when the sun goes down

Tell me what's the word, Johannesburg

When the rent goes up and the lights go down

On the coldest day, outside the coldest town

We waited all night, and I'm still falling

I didn't sleep a wink, but while the radio played

I was daydreaming of what might have been

While the cold night air was freezing

The coldest night, the coldest day of the year

The coldest night, the coldest day of the year

The coldest night... day...
