Well, the words I was thinking of
saying just stuck in my throat
And the ink I was thinking of writing
with dried up when I wrote
And I don't think that words
would de scribe what I feel
I doubt if just talking could
make it more real
It's a whole different feel
ing and I can't explain it
No better than anyone ever could
It's funny how love goes
how after a while
Eyes don't say what they used to,
the warmth leaves the smile
And the thrill of a touch,
that once meant so much
Seems to fade like the fall into wintertime
And you know how in winter
the frost chills the air
The trees stand stark naked,
the branches all bare
That's how my soul feels
and I'm hardly aware
Of the cold sleep that soaks
me in wintertime
Your heart's frozen over and
I can't reach you at all
And to tell you the truth there's
no sign of a pause
And when I think back how
the birds used to sing
I thought if I saw just a glimpse of the spring
I would stay just to see what
the summer might bring
But we know one swallow
never brought any pain
I think I'll just fly with the bluebirds this time
Back up and head for a sunnier clime
I'll let some sunshine into this life of mine
And pretend there was
never a winter time
Get out of here while my life is still mine
And forget there was ever a wintertime
