Cold Is Being - Renaissance

From ’Turn of the Cards“ (1975). Renaissance’s stupendous take on Albinoni’s “Adagio“ -- a rare but equally convincing moment of atmospheric despair in the Renaissance catalogue. Cold Is Being So cold is being lonely Behold the feeling lonely The living part is done The dying has begun The world is spinning slow So tired slow So cold is being sadness Behold the feeling sadness Oh how can we believe We earn what we receive The pain it overflows Overflows Lord won’t you help us realise See through your eyes Within our lives The earth grows old The earth grows cold So cold is being tired Behold the feeling tired Stand quietly at the side Watch darkness open wide The light is growing dim So dim within.
