We both know it's going to be another long winter The kind that freezes shut the doors of early spring But I'll still let you in When I hear you knocking, with a whisper I'll open the doors and I'll let you in Depressing things are empty beds and lonely dinners And women who are middle aged with naked fingers I'll buy myself a ring To symbolize this marriage every time I break the locks To let you in Cause nothing's worse than seeing you worse than me And nothing hurts like seeing you hurt like me The consequence is less than the happiness you bring to me There's more to give than what you take from me Cause nothing's worse than seeing you worse than me And nothing hurts like seeing you hurt like me The consequence is less than the happiness you bring to me There's more to give than what you take from me Believe in the things that you know Believe in the things that you know Sunshine, throw a starving man a piece of bread All I said, I didn't mean The chill is strong and nothing seems To thaw the icy sentiment Of love that's gone once winter's spent All I said, I didn't mean The chill is strong and nothing seems To thaw the icy sentiment Of love that's gone once winter's spent
