Winter Killing

On cold days it is

Easy to behave and

Easy to believe in it

On cold days it is

Easy to see clear and

Easy to believe in it

You say winter's killing you

That you can't stand the season

It has no smell or flavor

I left the city for you

There was no other reason

I did your wife a favour

You're safer with me here

You're safer with me here

You're safer with me here

And you there

I took the fast track

Considered crying

I was stopped in customs

Quite proud of the knack

I have of knowing

When it's over

You're safer with me here

You're safer with me here

You're safer with me here

And you there

With a bit of ice under my clothes

My tongue against the teeth

I think of nothing

Walk around the house on the cold

'Til it hurts to breath

I think of nothing

I knew I had to leave

'Cause spring was coming

You'd made a lover out of me

And spring was coming

I'm safer with me here

I'm safer with me here

I'm safer with me here

And you there
