Cold Kisses Lyrics - Richard Thompson

Here I am in your room going through your stuff 

Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough 

Here in your drawer there's lacy things 

Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings 

Well I think I've found what I'm looking for 

Hidden away at the back of the drawer 

Here's the life that you led before 

Old photographs of the life you led 

Arm in arm with Mr X Y and Z 

Old boyfriends big and small 

Got to see how I measure up to them all 

There is a place we all must start, love 

Who were you holding in that fond embrace 

I've found a door into your heart, love 

And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses

Here I am behind enemy lines 

Looking for secrets, looking for signs 

Old boyfriends big and small 

Got to see how I measure up to them all 

This one's handsome, not too bright 

This one's clever with his hands alright 

Tougher than me if it came to a fight 

And this one's a poet, a bit of a wet 

Bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat 

I wonder if she's got over him yet 

Old passions frozen in the second 

Who were you holding in that fond embrace 

Hearts have a past that must be reckoned 

And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses 

Photos 

Time to put the past away 

That's your footstep in the street I'd say 

Tie the ribbon back around it 

Everything just the way I found it 

And I can hear you turn the key 

And my head's buried when you see me 

In a Margaret Miller mystery 

And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses 

Do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses
