lyrics

LONG LONELY WINTER
Music & Lyrics by Ronney Abramson © 1977 Castor Island Music (SOCAN)

The words are shot dead right through their heads
Like some worn out empty bodies
Nothing to do except kill me a few
And hope that their meanings
Their floors and their ceilings
Will somehow, sometime come through

It’s gonna be a long lonely winter
If the times keep bringing us down
It’s gonna be a long lonely winter
With summer so hard to track down

And what’s this about the lights going out
With daytime only half empty?
I guess it must mean the days that I’ve seen
Are more than just leanings
On scores and on dealings
And will somehow, sometime shine through

It’s gonna be a long lonely winter
If the times keep bringing us down
It’s gonna be a long lonely winter
With summer so hard to track down

The sailing is rough, it’s hard to be tough
With nothing to show for the waiting
So hold on to me ‘cause I don’t want to see
The flight of our love go
Through doors and through windows
Like homeless, tired bad company

It’s gonna be a long lonely winter
If the times keep bringing us down
It’s gonna be a long lonely winter
With summer so hard to track down
