And the wind outside is painful
And there's that man I used to know
Drumming buckets like it's Friday
I guess he doesn't know
That time stands still for no one
Not on a bright December night
It's funny how this winter sky
Makes me wish that you were right
And you know me well enough
To know I don't want to go
But I know the winter snow
Don't fall
Down the coast of Mexico
And sometimes I feel like fighting
All this frost on my mind
It's hard to remember
The cooling rain in hot july
But nothing seems as easy
As saying you'll say goodbye
And nothing comes so hard
As when you start to cry
And you know me well enough
To know I don't want to go
But I know the winter snow
Don't fall
Down the coast of Mexico
