It’s been a long cold lonely winter I been alone since I ain’t been with her And I had sworn I’d never be here Old lights in the bar I can’t see clear Time has a way of turning us around The quiet streets look the same in this old town
It’s been a long cold lonely winter A whiskey on the rocks to get my head clear I bet on the season that she’d be right here He turns and says, “My dear it’s been years” We smile and we act like it’s all the same But in between the drinks we say each other’s names
Yes we had love but sometimes love is not enough What’s the point in going home if your home is so alone
It’s been a long cold lonely winter I heard you moved out west at the end of last year I say, “What’s the chance that you and I would come here?” A half lit smile says that she ain’t sure But the bottom of this drink says that I’m dead wrong The bite of the wind tells me to move on
Yes we had love but sometimes love is not enough What’s the point in going home if your home is still alone
It’s been a long cold lonely winter I can’t remember why I left there The blue cup near the bed says that she was right here A note pinned to the wall leaves it unclear The smell of this bed feels like I’ve come home I walk back in the cold to be alone
Yes we had love but sometimes love is not enough What’s the point in going home if your home is so alone Yes we had love but sometimes love is not enough What’s the point in going home if your home is still alone Yes we had love but sometimes love is not enough What’s the point in going home if your home is still alone
