It's Cold Out Tonight

(альбом: Monsoon - 1988)

The sun beat down on the water's edge, as he sailed to his judgment day
And his mother cried, for the day she died, he was half the world away
The light-house flashed its warning, and he cried out to be free
But the darkness fell on the promised land, he was just about to see

Oh now, get it all while you can
Seize the moment, it's in your hand
Take the feeling and get it right
Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

The wind swept down through the city, with a chill factor '85
But the children played in the streets all day, they were glad to be alive
It was Christmas time and the carols rose in the hearts of everyone
And his thoughts were turning to his home, when they all were overrun

Oh now, get it all while you can
Seize the moment, it's in your hand
Take the feeling and get it right
Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

He goes to the city square, from solitaire, to the golden hair
He loves the girl, he tells her so, "I cry for you and I'd die for you"

The tower leaned and crumbled, sinking right before his eyes
For the leaders could do nothing, they were stunned and paralyzed
The silence cracked the still night air, as the protest was upheld
He would live to fight another day, so he started to rebuild

Oh now, get it all while you can
Seize the moment, it's in your hand
Take the feeling and get it right
Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

Hey now, get it all while you can
Seize the moment, it's in your hand
Take the feeling and get it right
Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

Cold out tonight
It's cold out tonight
Cold out tonight
Cold out tonight
