  • Bare trees, gray light
    Oh, yeah, it was a cold night
    Bare trees, gray light

    I was alone in the cold of a winters day
    You were alone and so snug in your bed
    I was alone in the cold of a winters day
    You were alone and so snug in your bed

    Bah do dah, mm dah, da do da do
    Dah do dah, mm dah, da do wah oh
    La do dah, mm dah, da do da do
    Dah do dah, mm dah, da do la la la

    Bare trees, gray light
    Oh, yeah, it was a cold night
    Bare trees, gray light

    I was alone in the cold of a winters day
    You were alone and so snug in your bed
    I was alone in the cold of a winters day
    You were alone and so snug in your bed

    Bah do dah, mm dah, da do da do
    Dah do dah, mm dah, da do wah oh
    La do dah, mm dah, wah do, wah do
    Wah do dah, mm dah, wah do la la la Writer/s: Daniel Kirwan
