A Winter's Blues Songtext

von Maz O'Connor

Time to turn the fire on,
And cover up all of your skin.
Didn't you hear - winter is near,
The winter coming in.

Didn't we fly so high, though?
Through a summer without a cloud
It was too bright to see you looking at me,
Wondering when to bring me down.

Oh a friend of mine picked me up off the floor
He said, hey little sparrow, what are you crying for?
You shouldn't fly so high
If you can't take a fall.

I told him
It's a father's kind word,
A mother's kind touch,
It's the sound of a city
Asking too much,
Oh it's only a winter's blues.
It's the rains the coming down,
It's him never coming round,
It's the sound of my darling
Letting me down,
Oh it's only a winter's blues.

So I'm sticking close the the ground now
I'm gonna drive on down to Italy,
I've never been there, but I've heard
It's a place where loving flows free.

Maybe I'll fill my room with roses
And fill my mind with wine.
Nothing to see here, just let me be here,
Till the summertime.

Oh that friend of mine
Picked me up off the floor
He said, said, hey little sparrow, what are you crying for?
You shouldn't fly so high
If you can't take a fall.

I told him
It's a father's kind word,
A mother's kind touch,
It's the sound of a city
Asking too much,
Oh it's only a winter's blues.
It's the rains the coming down,
It's him never coming round,
It's the sound of my darling
Letting me down,
Oh it's only a winter's blues.
