Wintertime
Slush-filled shoes await the subway line
And i catch chills down my spine
Traffic cops sip coffee and fall behind
Wintertime
She longs to chill me out with undershine
She drowns my spirit with her salty wine
Her arms hold me in my mind
She won't say your name or leave you in the night
She just helps you feel and lets you know that feeling's alright
Sometimes i am blind to the lessons only she can provide
And for that moment, i'm warm inside
Wintertime
The pubs are packing...you might wait a while
Smell of sawdust mixed in village-style
But the mugs don't crack a smile
Winter seeps through skin
Resides in sorrow's tin
She can slay a man with forces only he can understand
Sometimes i am blind to the pain inflicted inside
And she holds me, but she doesn't let me hide
