Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The day fell down, the air got cold

I walked out in the street

Day dreamed for a mile or two

Starring at my feet

[Verse 2]

Like a workin' boy out of luck

Fallin' through the cracks

The night rolled in, I turned back home

A hard wind at my back

[Verse 3]

I'm out in the cold

(Out in the cold)

Body and soul

(Out in the cold)

There's nowhere to go

(Out in the cold)

I'm out in the cold

(Out in the cold)

[Verse 4]

When I woke up my brain was stunned

I could not come around

I reached out to grab my keys

Tumbled to the ground

[Verse 5]

I thought of you, starry eyed

I wondered where we stand

Did I just fall from your arms

Down into your hands?

[Verse 6]

I'm out in the cold

(Out in the cold)

Body and soul

(Out in the cold)

There's nowhere to go

(Out in the cold)

I'm out in the cold

(Out in the cold)

[Verse 7]

I'm out, standin' in a doorway

I'm out, walkin' around, hands in my pockets

[Verse 8]

I'm out in the cold

(Out in the cold)

Body and soul

(Out in the cold)

There's nowhere to go

(Out in the cold)

I'm out in the cold

(Out in the cold)

[Verse 9]

What's in here?

Oh
