Elvis Costello - I Felt The Chill Lyrics

Well, there's a difference in the way that you kiss 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
Suffered the guilt and then accepted the blame
I wanted you before you ever spoke my name

But I knew that we would go wrong
Just as they do in all in those tragic songs
But did that melody haunt your mind just like a linger of perfume?
That 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 a 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
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
