Why Hate the Winter

All the waters run out and you sit there wet There's a high-speed chase on the TV set And I think to myself, "Why hate the winter?" The fireplace glows on the snow outside You've a towel around your head And words in your eyes, they're the words I would say If only I was braver But it's much too cold To run like a dog all alone So come to my side and snuggle with me in the blanket Don't offer your love 'cause I'm not the one who should take it I'll batten the doors and the windows too The radioman says it's negative two And then he puts on the song That just wouldn't fit in the summer Your body it sways it's so fragile and bare You say, "Won't you come here and play in my hair?" But I still like a tree Taken by a shiver And it's much too cold To run like a dog all alone So come to my side and snuggle with me in the blanket Don't offer your love 'cause I'm not the one who should take it Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm Floorboards are quiet and cold to the feet And I cry like a child 'cause you've gone to sleep And I'd give you my soul If it wasn't that of a sinner You are no Virgin Mary, no angel so clean And there's no telling all of the damage you've seen But your skin makes for me A warm screaming reminder But it's much too cold To run like a dog all alone So come to my side and snuggle with me in the blanket Don't offer your love 'cause I'm not a man who can take it
