Long Cold Winter

(album: If The Shoe Fits - 1976)

Well, with a break-in come to stay, who stole my heart I remember only glimpses
With a hard core smile like a homeless child I was reduced to present tenses

You have a high life feel do you wanna make a deal dropping all pretenses
Go on, keep a grinning I'm loose while I'm winning no paying loves expenses

It's been a long cold winter... bare black trees against an orange sky
Then your dreams all fade like the snow... and if I could, I would fly...
I would fly...

In an unscheduled fade away you left a trail that a baby could have followed
Well, honey don't you know that what you stole from me was only there to borrow

It's been a long cold winter... bare black trees against an orange sky
Then your dreams all fade like the snow... and if I could, I would fly...
I would fly...

It's been a long cold winter... bare black trees against an orange sky
Then your dreams all fade like the snow... and if I could, I would fly...
I would fly...
