Saw another slideshow with this song, but seeing as it is lyrically tied to Toronto I decided to do my own version with some CC material from Flickr. Quickly put together, but I hope viewers enjoy it.

----

I was up all night, socializing

Trying to keep the latent depression from crystalizing

Now the sun is lurking just behind the Scarborough horizon

And you're not even here

On the coldest night of the year.

I took in Yonge Street at a glance

Heard the punkers playing

Watched the bikers dance

Everybody wishing they could go to the south of France

And you're not even here

On the coldest night of the year.

Hey look at me now

See the shape I'm in

It's taken me so long to catch on to what's going on

Inside this skin

When two lovers really love there's nothing there

But this suddenly compact universe

Skin and breath and hair

I watched the all night TV show

In the all night bar

I drove all the people home

I was the one with the car

Now I'm sitting here alone and sleepless

and wondering where you are

And wishing you were here

On the coldest night of the year

I had a really great affair with a woman I truly loved. But she had to go, and for a while after she left, I found myself listening to this, pulling up to work in the early morning darkness and cold of January....

To say I enjoyed this is an understatement. I don't know why, but this touches every part of me.
