Winter Song

Music: Grace McDunnough
Lyrics: Salome Strangelove

I don’t understand why you’re always calling up to say
It’s so cold in paradise
I’m sitting here watching the snow fall off the trees
Two inches now
Four by morning

I don’t understand why you’re telling me how dark it gets
In city skies filled with lies
I’m sitting here counting out the stars that shine like pain
Their points so bright
And full of longing

So here’s a Winter song to keep your warm
Like back when I was with you to keep you warm
A Winter song to keep you safe to hold you close to say your name
Like I say your name
Like I say your name
Every night

I don’t understand why you’re always looking backward
Although it is a pretty shoulder
I’m sitting here remembering the way you twist your mouth
When you get thinking
About the past

I don’t understand why you always say there must be more
Of something somewhere
I’m sitting here so that you know I’ll always answer when you call
No matter when
No matter when

And here’s a Winter song to keep your warm
Like back when I was with you to keep you warm
A Winter song to keep you safe to hold you close to say your name
Like I say your name
Like I say your name
Every night
