It's Cold Out Tonight

The sun beat down on the water's edge, as he sailed to his judgment day

And his mother cried, for the day she died, he was half the world away

The light-house flashed its warning, and he cried out to be free

But the darkness fell on the promised land, he was just about to see

Oh now, get it all while you can

Seize the moment, it's in your hand

Take the feeling and get it right

Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

The wind swept down through the city, with a chill factor '85

But the children played in the streets all day, they were glad to be alive

It was Christmas time and the carols rose in the hearts of everyone

And his thoughts were turning to his home, when they all were overrun

Oh now, get it all while you can

Seize the moment, it's in your hand

Take the feeling and get it right

Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

He goes to the city square, from solitaire, to the golden hair

He loves the girl, he tells her so, "I cry for you and I'd die for you"

The tower leaned and crumbled, sinking right before his eyes

For the leaders could do nothing, they were stunned and paralyzed

The silence cracked the still night air, as the protest was upheld

He would live to fight another day, so he started to rebuild

Oh now, get it all while you can

Seize the moment, it's in your hand

Take the feeling and get it right

Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

Hey now, get it all while you can

Seize the moment, it's in your hand

Take the feeling and get it right

Learn the lesson, it's cold out tonight

Cold out tonight

It's cold out tonight

Cold out tonight

Cold out tonight
