On cold days it is
easy to believe and
easy to believe in it
On cold days it is
easy to see clear and
easy to believe in it
You say winter's killing you
That you can't stand the season
It has no smell or flavour
I left the city for you
There was no other reason
I did your wife a favour
You're safer with me here
You're safer with me here
You're safer with me here
and you there
I took the fast track
considered crying
I was stopped in customs
Quite proud of the knack
I have of knowing
when it's over
You're safer with me here
You're safer with me here
You're safer with me here
and you there
With a bit of ice under my clothes
my tongue against the teeth
I think of nothing
Walk around the house in the cold
'til it hurts to breathe
I think of nothing
