It´s summer and I´m on an avenue
a street you can still walk at night
It´s summer and not cold at all, but strangely I still quiver
Anonymous yet satisfied they walk past each other
Agnoring each other, yet fighting each other

Chorus:
It´s a cold dark night tonight
a night like every other
It´s cold, can´t be closed with anything
It´s the cold that surrounds us
It´s a colda night tonight
a night like every other
It´s cold, can´t be closed with anything
It´s cold that surrounds us daily

I´m on my way to the party by Jacky
It´s what´s up tonight
"Great you came!" - It´s all as usual
"How ya doin ?" - but no one cares
And everyone´s drinking, cracking, having a blast
so they don´t feel the deadly could around them

He´s on the corner of the seventh avenue
Eddi, the nomad of the town
He´s just filling his tank with a bottle of wine
Having a good old time - with a tear in his eye
Days gone by and hard times brought him here
And every bottle shed a new tear in his eye

Chorus

I say: "Hey Ed, it´s a hard cold night tonight!"
He laughs, a warm laugh, honest, not fake or sligh
it warmed me, it follows me trough the cold night
it´s so easy, it´s pleasant to warm the cold night
