It’s deep in winter and I’m crying baby
I’m sad to let you go.
Deep in winter and
I’m lonely baby
I’m gonna let it show
While I’m all alone and the cold hard rain
Is rolling down my window
Like big old tears that fall for me
Pouring out in sympathy

You’re so damn righteous ‘bout the way you do
It hurts me every time
And there ain’t no sense in holding on
To what was never mine
And those eyes that held a million dreams
Have lost their gaze for me
So I’m sitting here in winter baby
working on my heart to set you free

Deep in Winter and I’m crying baby I’m sad to let you go
I’ll let you go
Deep in winter and I’m lonely baby I’m gonna let it show
I’ll let you go
All alone and the cold hard rain keeps rolling down my window
I’ll let you go
Big old tears that fall for me, pouring out in sympathy. (ref)

The fire burns in a big oak room
Its’ shadows dance amuck
And the cat’s asleep in a cozy chair
purring like a truck
It’s as though the world’s kept moving
While I’ve been sitting still,
Pondering tomorrow baby,
Thinking I could go there, maybe.

If only you had realized
Talking might have countered your suspicion.
I’m not as cruel as you believed,
I’m not as cruel as you, not at all.
I feel the winter in your words
I sense it in the manner that you treat me.
Love has such a quiet way
Maybe much too quiet to have you stay.


It’s deep in winter and I’m crying baby
I’m sad to let you go.
Deep in winter
I’m lonely baby
I’m gonna let it show
While I’m all alone and the cold hard rain
Is rolling down my window
Like big old tears that fall for me
Pouring out and out in sympathy
