Lyrics

So Cold

When your heart gets broken, the best thing you can do is let yourself feel sad. Wallow in it for a little bit if you must, as long as you have an end game. The idea is to work through the sorrow, not live there permanently. This song came from my experience with that. I knew Christoph Bull and Paul Nowell's soulful playing would bring depth and power to the song and I think they certainly did.

Put my book of poems back on the shelf
return my finest wine back to the cellar
don't need a candle to light up this empty room
I'll just sit in the darkness
Like I'm embalmed in a tomb

Chorus

You ruined the moonlight
drove the passion out of the night
stole the magic from my sight
and left me cold
left me so cold
left me so cold
left me so cold

You said true love is like wine
and it has to wait
We must never rush
the hand of fate
and you knew that I loved you
and hung on your every word
and I waited
yes, I waited
Oh, I waited
so long
until the fire flickered
and died
until the tear trickled
and dried

You ruined the moonlight
so cold
and left me cold
left me so cold
so cold

And I know there's an ending to this storm
just as soon as I choose to get warm
but for now I feel cold
I feel so cold
I feel so cold
I feel so cold

You can't really ruin the moonlight
or drive the passion out of the night
or steal the magic from my sight
or leave me cold
leave me so cold
leave me so cold
leave me so cold
Until the fire flickered and died
until the tear trickled and dried
cold, cold, cold
