Its a long long way to go
when the last bus left, and you didn't show
reflections of the street lamps
in the waters by my feet
a hundred and forty nine
and it was cold
and you find ways to fill in all the time
but I'm not alone, with you on my mind
Winter's come early this year
you can feel the cold in the air
Winter's come early this year
especially when you're not there
Guess I'll rearrange again
cos this desperado needs a friend
to share a warm cafe
on those cold and frosty days
with a girl who doesn't know how to pretend
Winter's come early this year
you can feel the cold in the air
Winter's come early this year
especially when you're not there
and you find ways to fill in all the time
but I'm not alone, with you on my mind
