There’s nobody you can cry to Who understands a single tear There’s nobody really knows you Enough to show you around here A love stricken The clouds thicken The air is cold and still Two panes of gla** Your eyes downcast Staring past the windowsill Here it comes Don’t you dread How you’ll miss her Holding on Down through the dead of winter All the friends you ever talk to Thought they knew you That’s what you thought But when your sense of humor’s all gone You wished they'd stayed on
They’d rather not Snow is falling Drifting, crawling The moon and stars erased The sky is freezing You are perceiving alone With every thought misplaced Here it comes Don’t you dread How you’ll miss her Holding on Down through the dead of winter [harmonica break] Here it comes Don’t you dread How you’ll miss her Holding on After the dead of winter Here it comes Don’t you dread How you’ll miss her Holding on Down through the dead of winter *** Thanks John for these lyrics
