I Felt The Chill Before The Winter Came Lyrics - Secret, Profane And Sugarcane - 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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
