Cold Day In July Lyrics
The moon is full and my arms are empty
All night long I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you would leave me
Would be a cold day in July
Your bags are packed not a word is spoken
I guess we said everything with good-bye
Time moves so slow and promises get broken
On this cold day in July
Sun's comin' up comin' up down on Main Street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here I am
Standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away
Watchinf you drive away
You said that we were gonna last forever
You said our love would never die
It looks like spring and
It feels like sunny weather
But it's a cold day in July
On sun's comin' up comin' up
Down on Main Street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Whoa head in my hands
Here I am standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away
Watching you drive away
The moon is full and my arms are empty
All night long how I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that the day that
you would leave me,
Would be a cold day in July
Here comes that cold day in July
All night long I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that you would leave me
Would be a cold day in July
I guess we said everything with good-bye
Time moves so slow and promises get broken
On this cold day in July
Children shout as they're running out to play
Head in my hands here I am
Standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away
Watchinf you drive away
You said our love would never die
It looks like spring and
It feels like sunny weather
But it's a cold day in July
Down on Main Street
Children shout as they're running out to play
Whoa head in my hands
Here I am standing in my bare feet
Watching you drive away
Watching you drive away
All night long how I've pleaded and cried
You always said the day that the day that
you would leave me,
Would be a cold day in July

This song says that there was someone there nad then unexspectedly they left you. You did not see it coming you thought they would be back and they wernt. Now you have nothign and you pled and cry. You knew they woudl leav you some day but you never thought it would be that cold day in july~!
I think this song is about a marriage or relationship coming to an end. I believe when talking about a "cold day in July", it is like saying "when pigs fly". The person promised to love them forever and now their leaving them. Now she watches him walk out the door and she is sad while the rest of the world goes on unaffected, yet her world is broken.
I love how this is written
gorgeous song..natalie maines has an amazing voice.
to me this song can be taken as meaning as losing a loved one through death. The way natalie sang it I thought of how they thought they would always be together but then death took her man away. Life is moving on as she is trying to deal with it.
