Long Cold Winter

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- droppin' all pretenses
Go on, keep a grinnin'- I'm loose while I'm winnin'- no payin' 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...
