Bill Morrissey - Winter SongLyrics

Smoke 'em if you got 'em You're not too far from the bottom and it's still so early in the day She told me what she taught 'em We're just halfway into autumn But when winter comes, it's here to stay The snow falls pretty and it covers up the ground and it hides what will not go away Down in the city she buys clothes by the pound just to fool me into thinking her way (Refrain:) Come sing a winter tune a winter tune so gay It's too bad the check had to come so soon and I hear it's your turn to pay Well, her eyes were blue and her eyes were green and you never knew which ones you'd see They would stare through a film of cosmoline and they were always trained right on me She said he went insane in a Ford Fairlane parked beside a stand of hemlock trees They were safe out of the rain when he finally made his claim and he didn't ask and didn't say please (Refrain) There weren't nobody on that mountain road when you slide off deep into the snow Now the night is getting cold and has a very good hold with no reason to ever let go Your own Mother Earth wants to call you home and protect you from all harm She's so lonely in the night and if you only held her tight there'll be no need for alarm (Refrain) You never travel steerage when you're in a Boston marriage No matter what the people may say You found yourself a lover Drag her underneath the cover and show her where the hound dogs bay An after dinner cigarette another shot of anisette Adjust the seat in the Fairlane You gave them what they want in the finest restaurant and you didn't cry or didn't name names (Refrain)
