It's Way Too Cold for Snow

Think of a single number
Between just one and ten
Add on the steely silence
That breaks out now and then
Take away impromptu
Divide the time we've shared
Then give me your final answer
Is it that you never cared

There's a silence on the radio
And I know it's time to go
'Cause the forecast in this room tonight
Says it's way too cold
It's way too cold for snow

When summer seared our teenage skin
When all we had was time
You'd have guessed that number
Sensed every telling sign
Three am exhaustion
Aretha's all night long
Drifting in from Luxembourg
Now you say you hate that song

There's a silence on the radio
A wind too harsh to blow
'Cause the forecast in this room tonight
Says it's way too cold
It's way too cold for snow

I took a road less travelled
While you just hailed a cab
Then revelled in your liberty
While I picked up the tab
Seems there's nothing more
That's left to do
But cross this ice cold floor
Just kiss goodbye to all we had
And close the bedroom door
The wino in the doorway
Is the only one to know
As the Belfast night falls silent
It's way too cold

There's a silence on the radio
And I know it's time to go
'Cause the forecast in this room tonight
Says it's way too cold
It's way too cold
