Artist/Band: Richard Thompson
Lyrics for Song: Cold Kisses
Lyrics for Album: Action Packed: Best Of The Capitol Years [2001]



Here I am in your room going through your stuff

Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough

Here in your drawer there's lacy things

Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings



But I think I've found what I'm looking for

Hidden away at the back of the drawer

Here's the life that you led before



Old photographs of the life you led

Arm in arm with Mr. X Y and Z

Old boyfriends big and small

Got to see how I measure up to them all



There is a place we all must start love

Who were you holding in that fond embrace

I've found a door into your heart love

And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?



Here I am behind enemy lines

Looking for secrets, looking for signs

Old boyfriends, big and small

Got to see how I measure up to them all



This one's handsome, not too bright

This one's clever with his hands alright

Tougher than me if it came to a fight



And this one's a poet, a bit of a wet

Bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat

I wonder if she's got over him yet



Old passions frozen in the second

Who were you holding in that fond embrace

Hearts have a past that must be reckoned

And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?



Time to put the past away

That's your footstep in the street I'd say

Tie the ribbon back around it

Everything just the way I found it



And I can hear you turn the key

And my head's buried when you see me

In a Margaret Miller mystery



And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?

Do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?
