Another Long Winter Night

[V1]

Long ago, entangled in romance,

Circumstances left only to chance.

In hindsight we both might have done right to try instead.

Love letters left on your kitchen table,

A perfect picture that disrupts what was stable.

What a bitter end, a sign to send that a love's long dead.

[CHORUS]

So, it's another long winter night.

The darkness obscures any insight.

No warm glow of romance for our light.

It's another long winter night.

[V2]

A long road home alone I remember,

Not the embraces that began in September.

Warm nights and spinning heights of love now leave a hole inside.

Memories have started to wither,

But the truth on my tongue still tastes harsh and bitter,

But the stars like jewels in the sky remind me you lied.

[CHORUS]

So, it's another long winter night.

The stars refuse to fall out of sight,

But, our love leaves in eternal flight.

It's another long winter night.

[SINGLE CHORUS]

You thought that I'd understand,

Our love affair was at your command.

But your love for me was shifting like sand,

When I left with your heart in my hand.

[CHORUS]

Yeah, it's another long winter night.

Cold darkness replaced the warm light,

As our breath turned to ice out of sight,

On another long winter night.

[V3]

The many years to learn to let go,

The other few before I could know,

For sure that the two of you had no chance at all.

Now indifference colors my day,

And my anger has ambled away,

Like the winter wanders to spring, and summer to fall.

[CHORUS]

[For now] it's another long winter night.

The past flashes briefly in sight.

Nothing ever can make it right.

It's another long winter night.
