Winter Tale Lyrics

I wrote this tune for you

One cold and frosted evening

while wishing you were here

I watched the snowdrifts pile higher

Threw a log upon the fire

Hoping you'd appear

Sorry girl for what I said

Seems I must have lost my head

Now I'm left with my regrets

A lover's unpaid debts

And dreams I can't forget

The wind howled past my home

As I reached out for the phone

Saw your picture on the wall

And the ice upon the pine

Send a shiver through my spine

No one answering my call

Sorry girl for what I said

Seems I must have lost my head

Now I'm left with my regrets

A lover's unpaid debts

And dreams I can't forget

As the storm began to die

Gave your number one more try

Hoping you'd be there

Through the silence I could hear

Footsteps drawing near

A figure on my stairs

Steam rose from your face

As I welcomed your embrace

And the lines I'd planned to say

Well, the words got in the way

So I left that part unplayed
