Out in the cold/Round and round - Strawbs

I walked in the city at midday

It was empty and bare

I looked in the mirror at midnight

There was nobody there

You had become the very breath that I breathed

You were all I desired, my will to succeed

But now I know how it feels to be old

Out in the cold.

I walked in the city at midday

It was feeling the strain

I looked in the mirror at midnight

It was starting to rain

I sucked on your breasts, your legs opened wide

I could scarcely believe all the pleasures inside

But now I know how it feels to be old

Out in the cold.

Whoever believed in astrological signs

Under my eyes your name burns in the lines

For now I know how it feels to be old

Out in the cold.

I drew the blade across my wrist

To see how it would feel

Looked into the future

There was nothing to reveal

For we were just the product

Of the ever spinning wheel

Round and round we go

Round and and round we go.

When the screw has turned another turn

It’s not that I’m confused

But I’ve an awful lot to learn

But I will be the one

To make you work for what you earn

Round and round we go

Round and and round we go.

After all it’s just the revolution I despise

The dawn of revelations and the flower power prize

And I pity those poor children with no sunshine in their eyes

Round and round we go

Round and and round we go.
