The Winter Lyrics by CAKE

Showroom of Compassion

2011

The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same

Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls
And all you left were bills you hadn't paid
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away

It's all behind you now
You're moving on
They'll never find you now
You're moving on, on, on
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa

Alcohol, cigarettes and luxury goods
Christmas lights look desperate in this room
Winter's light left me in the dark last night
And Jingle Bells are smothered in this gloom

Winter's trees freezing in the bitter wind
And autumn's leaves have all been blown away
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same

It's all behind you now
You're moving on
They'll never find you now
You're moving on, on, on
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa

It's all behind you now
You're moving on
They'll never find you now
You're moving on, on, on
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
