lyrics

She suffers less when the winds have left
Pulls up a chair and makes me laugh
I bother more when counting up the score
If it's chess or if it's cards

When it's time for rationing the wine
We can say the day is through
Fair reward for clearing up the board
And for washing down the stew

My snowman’s melting
Winter’s end is coming soon
My snowman’s melting
Like the longest afternoon
My snowman’s melting
And he looks just like your face in the back of a spoon

We need some logs, we must avoid the dogs
Let's take a detour through the woods
A dying flame crackles in the haze
Of kippered scent that fills the room

A collared dove with blessings from above
Seems content to ride the mood
Orange bugs that hide behind the jugs
Gather flies for winter food

What d'you say, shall we while away the day
Making plans and making rules?
Going home to the place that we disowned
Is now the first thing that we'd choose
The light is low, it's time for us to go
