Winter Sunlight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Winter sunlight on a red brick wall Caged bird singin' across the hall Each of us feelin' that we've missed a call For reasons we remember this season [Verse 2] What a difference a year does make Red brick tile to cold blue slate And all the ways that a heart can break When nobody can offer a reason [Chorus] Oh, how the needle lies low And holds about freezin' Oh, how the people I know Have chosen this season [Verse 3] It turned cold with a vengeance this year Spilling sunlight through a cracked mirror On painted floors and the cheep veneer Of the desk where I shattered your picture [Verse 4] Too many photo booths in train station bars Posing as heroes in some forgotten war This is the first day of the rest of your life So smile and take a picture [Chorus] Oh, how the needle lies low And holds about freezin' Oh, how the people I know Have chosen this season [Verse 5] Some meet the devil and it changes their life Some meet his double and call it a wife It's not that I'm against selling my soul But he better make it worth my trouble [Verse 6] Tenacious leaves clinging to that tree Flauntin' their own infidelities Defying laws that would set them free And leave me without a shadow [Chorus] Oh, how the needle lies low And holds about freezin' Oh, how the people I know Have chosen this season Oh, how the needle lies low And holds about freezin' Oh, how the people I know Have chosen this season
