I felt the chill
par Elvis Costello

Well, there´s a difference in the way that you kissed me
And there´s a sadness in your eyes that you can´t hide
Why do you tremble when I hold you?
I wonder if you feel the same
I felt the chill before the winter came
But it´s easy to say that I won´t give in again
I was just tempted for a moment and then some
But it´s so easy when you love to lose to control
Now look here if you will
At the faithful man you stole
I felt the chill before the winter came
I suffered the guilt and then accepted the blame
I wanted you before you ever spoke my name
But I knew that we would go wrong
Just as they do in all in those old tragic songs
Did that melody haunt your mind?
Just like a linger of perfume
Now you´re in someone else´s arms,
Locked up in another room
Is there´s a difference in the way that he loves you
Is there still sadness in your eyes, you can´t deny?
Do you tremble and sigh when he holds you just like I do?
What were you thinking of to throw away our love?
And it´s easy to say that you won´t give in again
You were just tempted for a moment and half
But it´s so hard when you desire to lose control
I don´t know what this feeling is but it sure seems cold
I felt the chill before the winter came
I suffered the pain and then accepted the shame
I will have lost your love by end of this sad refrain?
I felt the cold creeping over my skin...
Still as the air until the wind rushed in
Still in control, holding on to my heart and soul
Only inches from sin
And there´s a sadness in your eyes that you can´t hide
Why do you tremble when I hold you?
I wonder if you feel the same
I felt the chill before the winter came
But it´s easy to say that I won´t give in again
I was just tempted for a moment and then some
But it´s so easy when you love to lose to control
Now look here if you will
At the faithful man you stole
I felt the chill before the winter came
I suffered the guilt and then accepted the blame
I wanted you before you ever spoke my name
But I knew that we would go wrong
Just as they do in all in those old tragic songs
Did that melody haunt your mind?
Just like a linger of perfume
Now you´re in someone else´s arms,
Locked up in another room
Is there´s a difference in the way that he loves you
Is there still sadness in your eyes, you can´t deny?
Do you tremble and sigh when he holds you just like I do?
What were you thinking of to throw away our love?
And it´s easy to say that you won´t give in again
You were just tempted for a moment and half
But it´s so hard when you desire to lose control
I don´t know what this feeling is but it sure seems cold
I felt the chill before the winter came
I suffered the pain and then accepted the shame
I will have lost your love by end of this sad refrain?
I felt the cold creeping over my skin...
Still as the air until the wind rushed in
Still in control, holding on to my heart and soul
Only inches from sin
