Winter

You’re so damn righteous ‘bout the way you do It hurts me every time And there ain’t no sense in holding on To what was never mine And those eyes that held a million dreams Have lost their gaze for me So I’m sitting here in winter baby working on my heart to set you free

Deep in Winter and I’m crying baby I’m sad to let you go I’ll let you go Deep in winter and I’m lonely baby I’m gonna let it show I’ll let you go All alone and the cold hard rain keeps rolling down my window I’ll let you go Big old tears that fall for me, pouring out in sympathy. (ref)

The fire burns in a big oak room Its’ shadows dance amuck And the cat’s asleep in a cozy chair purring like a truck It’s as though the world’s kept moving While I’ve been sitting still, Pondering tomorrow baby, Thinking I could go there, maybe.

If only you had realized Talking might have countered your suspicion. I’m not as cruel as you believed, I’m not as cruel as you, not at all. I feel the winter in your words I sense it in the manner that you treat me. Love has such a quiet way Maybe much too quiet to have you stay.

It’s deep in winter and I’m crying baby I’m sad to let you go. Deep in winter I’m lonely baby I’m gonna let it show While I’m all alone and the cold hard rain Is rolling down my window Like big old tears that fall for me Pouring out and out in sympathy (c) Felice Borghmans 2005
