Why Hate The Winter

All the waters run out

And you sit there wet

There's a high-speed chase

On the TV set

And I think to myself

Why hate the winter?

The fireplace glows

On the snow outside

You've a towel around your head

Words in your eyes

They're the words I would say

If only I was braver

But it's much too cold

To run like a dog all alone

So come to my side

And snuggle with me in the blanket

Don't offer your love

'Cause I'm not the one who should take it

I'll batten the doors and the windows too

The radioman says it's negative two

And then he puts on the song

That just wouldn't fit in the summer

Your body it sways it's so fragile and bare

You say: Won't you come here and play in my hair?

But I still like a tree

Taken by a shiver

And it's much too cold

To run like a dog all alone

So come to my side

And snuggle with me in the blanket

Don't offer your love

'Cause I'm not the one who should take it

Floorboards are quiet

And cold to the feet

And I cry like a child

'Cause you'd gone to sleep

And I'd give you my soul

If it wasn't that of a sinner

You are no virgin Mary

No angel so clean

And there's no telling all of

The damage you've seen

But your skin makes for me

A warm screaming reminder

But it's much too cold

To run like a dog all alone

So come to my side

And snuggle with me in the blanket

Don't offer your love

'Cause I'm not a man who could take it
