Lyrics

This old house is such a chore
Leaking taps and creaking floor
How I long to see you standing at the door
But you don’t come around here anymore

Whiskey bottle nearly dry
Full moon lighting up the sky
When I message you I don’t get a reply
I know it’s late but I just had to try

Cold night, lonesome me
I’m a fool to leave you behind
Hold tight, wait for me
I’ve got your lovin’ on my mind

Now my pillow feels like lead
Or have I rocks inside my head?
How I wish that you were next to me in bed
These thoughts of you will have to do instead

Cold night, lonesome me
I’m a fool to leave you behind
Hold tight, wait for me
I’ve got your lovin’ on my mind

You don’t need to preach
I’ve learned what only time can teach
I give myself a talkin’ to with each
And every day you’re out of reach

Anyone can change their mind
No one said that it’s a crime
Maybe both of us will recognise in time
The love we had is getting hard to find

Cold night, lonesome me
I’m a fool to leave you behind
Hold tight, wait for me
I’ve got your lovin’ on my mind
I’ve got your lovin’ on my mind
I think I’ve gone and blown it this time
