I Can't Stand the Winter

I tape the windows up

Throw a blanket by the door

But the cold wind still blows in

I turn the heater up

Throw a log on the fire

But this drafty house still will not give in

I can't stand the winter

The cold stillness in the air

That cuts right through you

And lingers on for so long every year

It just reminds me

How it was warm when she was here

I turn the coffee on

And tell myself this house is warm

But can't convince my feet that's true

So I sweater up my heart

By remembering the parts

Of a burning fire that I once knew

I can't stand the winter

The cold stillness in the air

That cuts right through you

And lingers on so long every year

It just reminds me

How it was warm when she was here

I never noticed these cold nights

Her love kept me warm inside

God, I hate the winter

The cold stillness in the air

That cuts right through you

And lingers on so long every year

It just reminds me

How it was warm when she was here

When she was here

When she was here

She was here
