COLD
(Smith / Gallup / Tolhurst)
The Cure - 1982


Scarred 
Your back was turned 
Curled like an embryo 
Take another face 
You will be kissed again 
I was cold as I mouthed the words 
And crawled across the mirror 
I wait 
Await the next breath 
Your name 
Like ice into my heart 
A shallow grave 
A monument to the ruined age 
Ice in my eyes 
And eyes like ice don't move 
Screaming at the moon 
Another past time 
Your name 
Like ice into my heart 

Everything as cold as life 
Can no one save you? 
Everything 
As cold as silence 
And you never say a word 
Your name 
Like ice into my heart 
Your name 
Like ice into my heart
