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
