STING - You Only Cross My Mind in Winter lyrics

rate me

Always this winter child, <br />December's sun sits low against the sky <br />Cold light on frozen fields, <br />The cattle in their stable lowing. <br /> <br />When two walked this winter road, <br />Ten thousand miles seemed nothing to us then, <br />Now one walks with heavy tread <br />The space between their footsteps slowing <br /> <br />All day the snow did fall, <br />What's left of the day is close drawn in, <br />I speak your name as if you'd answer me, <br />But the silence of the snow is deafening <br /> <br />How well do I recall our arguments, <br />Our logic owed no debts or recompense, <br />Philosophy and faith were ghosts <br />That we would chase until <br />The gates of heaven were broken <br /> <br />But something makes me turn, I don't know, <br />To see another's footsteps there in the snow, <br />I smile to myself and then I wonder why it is <br />You only cross my mind in winter<br /><br />
