Madness The Coldest Day Lyrics

The Coldest Day Lyrics

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 felt you go 

We waited all night for the midnight lover's
calling 

It was the coldest day of the year 

And I'm still thawing




I didn't sleep a wink 

But while 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 a halt 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 Johannesburg 

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 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, year
