I went for a coffee across the road They didn't charge me, keeps away the cold

 It's my son's birthday, he's two years old I made him a t-shirt, so when he grows old

 He'll know I care, but I couldn't be there But the judge just wouldn't listen

 Now it's these streets or it's prison for me

 Where do I belong, where do I call home Oh, there's cold in my bones and I can't

 get no sleep on these long winter nights Oh, the cardboard doesn't keep out the cold

 On these dark winter nights On these long winter nights

 My girlfriend lives across the sea

And if she saw me now, she wouldn't know

 Who I am, but I wish I was with her

 There's no place that I'd rather be

But the judge just wouldn't listen

 Now it's these streets or it's prison for me

 Where do I belong? where do I call home Oh, there's cold in my bones and I can't get no sleep on these dark winter nights

 Oh, this cardboard doesnt keep out the cold

 On these dark winter nights

So I turn to the needle

It takes away all my pain,

and helps me forget

all the damage done

Where do I belong? where do I call home Oh, there's cold in my bones and I can't get no sleep on these long winter nights

On these dark winter nights

On these long winter nights
