Cold Kisses Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
Here I am in your room going through your stuff
Said you'd be gone five minutes, that's time enough
Here in your drawer there's lacy things
Old credit cards and beads and bangles and rings
But I think I've found what I'm looking for
Hidden away at the back of the drawer
Here's the life that you led before

[Verse 2]
Old photographs of the life you led
Arm in arm with Mr. X, Y, and Z
Old boyfriends big and small
Got to see how I measure up to them all

[Chorus]
There is a place we all must start, love
Who were you holding in that fond embrace?
I've found a door into your heart, love
And do you still feel the warmth of cold kisses?

[Verse 3]
Here I am behind enemy lines
Looking for secrets, looking for signs
Old boyfriends big and small
Got to see how I measure up to them all
This one's handsome, not too bright
This one's clever with his hands alright
Tougher than me if it came to a fight
And this one's a poet, bit of a wet
Bit of a gypsy, a bit of a threat
I wonder if she's got over him yet
