Lyrics:

('Peel Sessions' lyrics in parenthesis)

It was cold in the night (It was cold, it was night)
I was with you some time ago
But you were laughing to hide your crying (You were laughing and you were crying)
In shock and dazed, we walked away (The night was black, it was raining)
You said 'be careful', some lights were shining
They came much closer, we started hiding
Then it was silent, I heard you breathing
But far away, someone was screaming

Some dogs were growling, we started running
We kept on running until the daylight
And it was cold, the smoke was heavy (And it was cold, it was night)
Casualties high, no one was ready (I was with you some time ago)

It was cold in the night
I was with you some time ago
You said now no in desperation (You said 'be careful', some lights were shining)
The world we know in desolation (They came much closer, we started hiding)
