The Winter Lyrics by Nicholas Payne

Winter In Morristown

2020

[Verse 1]
\nThe days are getting shorter now
\nThe winter's on its way
\nDays are getting shorter now
\nThe winter's on its way
\nWell it looks to me like you had better be on your way
\nBetter go out now and find someplace warm to stay
\nDays are getting shorter now
\nThe winter it's on its way
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nYou find your wife has left you
\nShe took the kids and gone away
\nYou find out your wife has left you
\nTook the kids and gone away
\nYou had been out drinking you didn't find out 'till the next day
\nEven if you'd seen her, what would you've had to say?
\nYou find your wife has left you
\nShe took the kids and now she gone away
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nYou take a gun out of the drawer
\nYou know the end is coming soon
\nYou take a gun out of the drawer
\nYou know the end is coming soon
\nYou take a step outside you hear a coyote howling at the moon
\nWell you would sing along with him but you know you'd be out of tune
\nYou take a look at that gun in your hand
\nYou know the end, oh it's coming soon
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nWell you take a look in the mirror now
\nThat gun feels so cold in your hand
\nYou take a look in the mirror now
\nThat gun feels so cold in your hand
\nYou just wish that things had gone a little more like you planned
\nYou think about running off, moving to some far off land
\nYou take a look in the mirror
\nThat gun feels so cold, so cold in your hand
\n
\n[Verse 5]
\nWell you put down your revolver
\nYou pick up that phone instead
\nWell you put down your revolver
\nYou pick up the phone instead
\nYou tell your wife you needed to hear her voice 'fore she went to bed
\nYou tell her that you're sorry for all of them wretched things you said
\nYou take a look at that gun and you think
\n"Well now at least I'm not yet dead"
\n
\n[Verse 6]
\nWell you beg her for forgiveness
\nYou ask her for just one more chance
\nYou tell her that you'll change your ways
\nIf she'll just give you a chance
\nFeel a bit more optimistic as she lightens up her stance
\nAs she starts to speak her voice has got you in a trance
\nYou ask her for forgiveness
\nAnd you ask her for just one more chance
\n
\n[Verse 7]
\nWell the days are getting longer now
\nThe summer's here at last
\nThe days are getting longer now
\nThe summer's here at last
\nSo just remember, friend, that the die it has been cast
\nSo don't you spend all of your time just worrying about the past
\nThe days are getting longer now
\nThe summer, oh the summer is here at last\n\n
