Coldest Day

(album: Mad Not Mad - 1985)

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
Under the pale moon under the pale blue moon

What happens then when the sun goes down
Tell me what's the word Johanaseburg
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 day dreaming 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
