Well, the trees were shaking
In the terrible wind
And my face would have cracked
If I'd tried to grin
It was the coldest night
I've ever spent outside
That frost was biting
Like a hungry hound
And my feet were so numb
I couldn't feel the ground
It was the coldest night
I've ever spent outside
And I freeze
You don't know what it's like
To be left all alone in the cold
On my knees
I'd go down on my knees
For a moment or two back at home
Still I walked on
And on and on
Not really going any place
Just trying to keep me warm
It was the coldest night
I've ever spent outside
It near drove me insane
As the rain tapped my brain
Then fell to the floor
And ran down the drain
It was the coldest night
I've ever spent outside
And I freeze
You don't know what it's like
To be left all alone in the cold
On my knees
I'd go down on my knees
For a moment or two back at home
Well, if I ain't dead
Well, this sure feels like hell
And after all
Well, how can you tell?
It was the coldest night
I've ever spent outside
And it was hard to believe
When I woke in a sweat
That I wasn't really out
In that cruel cold and wet
It was the coldest night
I've ever spent outside
And I freeze
You don't know what it's like
To be left all alone in the cold
On my knees
I'd go down on my knees
For a moment or two back at home
In my bed
Rest my head
Where I'm cosy and warm
I've been so cold, baby
Cold outside
