lyrics

Winter Is The Season

Grey is the colour of my city, grey are it's crowded highways
Grey is a country without pity, grey is a sun that’s lost its rays
Winter is the season of my days.

Pale are the people on the subways, Pale is the rain that tears me down
Pale are the pavements & the pathways, Pale the river that haunts this town
Winter is the season of my days; winter is the season of my days.

Drab are the trains that take me somewhere, drab are the trains that bring me home
Drab are the hopes that left me nowhere, drab the lonely room I live alone
Winter is the season of my days.

Chorus
Once there was a colour in my world; once I had the love of a girl
Let that love remind me I’m still alive for in London without love: you can’t survive
Once there was a colour in my world; once I had the love of a girl
Let that love remind me I’m still alive for in London without love: you can’t survive.

Dour are the sad & silent churches, dour is the palace on the Mall
Dour the Tower where a raven perches, dour the ancient buildings & the halls
Winter is the season of my days.

Bleak is a nation unforgiving, bleak the Sunday bells that mournful toll
Bleak are the families hardly living, bleak a Parliament without a soul
Winter is the season of my days; winter is the season of my days.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Shabby is a man with no tomorrows, shabby a broken heart without a dream
Shabby is a city without sorrow, shabby is a life without a theme
Winter is the season of my days; Winter is the season of my days
Winter is the season of my days.
