Out In The Cold

Strawbs - Out In The Cold



I walked in the city at midday

It was empty and bare

I looked in the mirror at midnight

There was nobody there

You had become the very breath that I breathed

You were all I desired, my will to succeed

But now I know how it feels to be old

Out in the cold.



I walked in the city at midday

It was feeling the strain

I looked in the mirror at midnight



It was starting to rain

I sucked on your breasts, your legs opened wide

I could scarcely believe all the pleasures inside

But now I know how it feels to be old

Out in the cold.



Whoever believed in astrological signs

Under my eyes your name burns in the lines

For now I know how it feels to be old

Out in the cold.
