Lyrics: Madness. Mad Not Mad. Coldest Day.

No, I never heard through the grapevine
How you left long before your time
But in France on the radio
I could not understand a word

But I felt you go, we waited all night
For the midnight lover's calling
It was the coldest day of the year
And I'm still thawing

I didn't sleep a wink but while radio played
I was day dreaming of what might have been
While the cold night air was freezing

The coldest night
The coldest day of the year

What is happening, mother, father please?
Who will save us from the autumn breeze?
Shivering to a halt no one wants to speak too soon
Although we all knew under the pale blue moon
The pale moon, the pale blue moon

What happens then when the sun goes down?
Tell me what's the word ?Johannesburg??
When the rent goes up and the lights go down
On the coldest day outside the coldest town
We waited all night and I'm still falling

I didn't sleep a wink but while radio played
I was day dreaming of what might have been
While the cold night air was freezing

The coldest night
The coldest day of the year

The coldest night
The coldest day of the year

The coldest night, day, year
