Out In The Cold Lyrics - Strawbs

I walked in the city at midday 

It was empty and bare 

I looked in the mirror at midnight 

There was nobody there 

You had become the very breath that I breathed 

You were all I desired, my will to succeed 

But now I know how it feels to be old 

Out in the cold. 

I walked in the city at midday 

It was feeling the strain 

I looked in the mirror at midnight 

It was starting to rain 

I sucked on your breasts, your legs opened wide 

I could scarcely believe all the pleasures inside 

But now I know how it feels to be old 

Out in the cold. 

Whoever believed in astrological signs 

Under my eyes your name burns in the lines 

For now I know how it feels to be old 

Out in the cold
