Cold November day

Why baby?

Why this cold November day?

To go away.

Left me in the icy rain,

Such a numbing pain.

Down the gutter,

Into the alley,

Pieces of my heart swept away.

I gave you my bed,

I gave you my head,

Loved everything you did and said.

This woman's power over me

Is such sweet misery.

Winds of fall

Have carried you away

Sweeping remnants of our love

Gone a stray

Left me naked and cold

Freezing,feeling so old

Stripped of your love,

Where will I go?

You were my shelter.

What will I do?

I always did just for you.

This woman's power over me is such misery.

The pounding in my heart, so hollow

Echoes only of empty tomorrows

Best half of me has gone away

On this cold November day
