In The Winter

The days are okay
I watch the TV in the afternoon
if I get lonely
the sound of other voices
other rooms are near to me
I'm not afraid

The operator
she tells the time
it's good for a laugh
There's always radio
And for a dime I can
talk to God, dial a prayer
are you there,
do you care
Are you there?

And in the winter
extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
I am wiser now, you know
and still as big a fool
concerning you

I met your friend
She's very nice, what can I say?
It was an accident
I never dreamed we'd meet again
This way - you're looking well
I'm not afraid

You have a lovely home
Just like a picture
No, I live alone
I found it easier
You must remember how
I never liked the party life
Up all night, lovely wife
You have a lovely wife

And in the winter
extra blankets for the cold
Fix the heater, getting old
You are with her now, I know
I'll live alone forever
Not together now
