Coldest Day

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 (I didn't sleep last night)
But while 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

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 - 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...
