Cold War Affair - Close Up

I was born in the last cold war,

and I was taught to stay alone.

Cause the people I met were frightened,

of the thing that I’d become.

You see I met a girl from the far Moscow,

and she had eyes like solid gold.

And she set my heart on fire,

with a smile, a love so cold, a love so cold.

But when we fell in love she lost the arms of a foreign home,

And she said she was okay so I don’t know what went wrong.

But she left me in the morning, said she’d missed the winter nights,

And that all this short-term lust would save me a thousand little fights,

About love.

But I would burn my gold for you,

And I would flee this side, just to get back to you.

Cause she, is my cold war affair.

She always was.

1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
