(Jack Hues)

Well I'm sitting on a hillside
On the warmer side of cool
With the future laid before me
Like a green and misty jewel
And to climb above the tree line
Is only for the fools
So they say
So they say

Chorus:
On the warmer side of cool
What you feel in your heart is all
On the warmer side of cool
Being cool it's so easy to be cold

Well I'm sitting by the seaside
On the warmer side of cool
With the ocean spread before me
Like a blue and misty jewel
And if I jump into the water
Would an angel break my fall
So they say
So they say

On the warmer side of cool
What you feel in your heart is all

I'm sorry if I offend you
If I'm a little bit intense
But I never did intend us
To be sitting on the fence
And even though I'm guilty
Of making total sense
I'm happy when it's all
On the warmer side of cool

Repeat Chorus
It ain't cool to be cold
