Cold

Words & Music:

Annie Lennox

 

Come to me, run to me, do and be done with me.  (Cold, cold, cold.)

Don't I exist for you, don't I still live for you?  (Cold, cold, cold.)

Everything I present, giving with tenderness,

Wrapped in a ribbon of glass

Time it may take us but God only knows

How I've paid for those things in the past.

 

Dying is easy, it's living that scares me to death.

I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath.

Cold is the color of crystal,

The snowlight that falls from the heavenly skies.

Catch me and and let me dive under

For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.

 

BRIDGE:

I want to be with you, baby.

Oh, slip me inside of your heart.

Don't I belong to you, baby?

Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart?

Come on, now; come on, now; come on, now,

I'm telling you that I loved you right from the start.

But the more I want you the less I get.

Ain't that just the way things are?

 

Winter has frozen us, let love take hold of us. (Cold, cold, cold.)

Now we are shivering, blue ice is glittering.  (Cold, cold, cold.)

 

Cold is the color of crystal,

The snowlight that falls from the heavenly skies.

Catch me and and let me dive under

For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes.

 

Don't you know it?  Cold, cold, cold.

Cold, cold, cold.  Cold, cold, cold.
