Stuck in the Winter

It's five o'clock and the house is bright

 But we can't survive in artificial light

 So you walk away

 And I walk away this time

 You know how it always goes with that stuff

 One's too many and

 A hundreds not enough

 So you walk away

 And I walk away this time

 And this cold, It makes you feel your age

 Those old familiar shakes

 But no reminders of warmer days

 It doesn't work that way

 The sun is gone

 It dropped like an atom bomb

 It won't shine shorter

 Remember though

 As you trudge through the salt and snow

 Each day gets longer now

 Plan these getaways

 For the warmer days

 Just you and me

 They'll never come to be

 You'll never come around

 But it's the thought that counts

 And we won't hang again

 But we did back then

 I diagnose and drink away this curse

 Prescriptions gone still dying of thirst

 So I walk away

 Yeah I walk away this time

 Please don't walk away

 Please don't walk away this time
