I'm going out before the sun starts settin'
I'll be comin' back when it rise
And I'll walk these crooked streets til I'm forgotten
Thinkin' about the one I left behind
For I'll be dreamin' all the while she's still sleepin'
Layin' still in your mornin' bed
Then when I walk in and see you softly breathin'
On you'll turn your head and say "come on in"
[CH]
The winter winds are stinging lonesome
I'm walkin' the streets tryin' to show no pain
And where I'll be tonight there ain't no mistakin'
For I'll be knockin' at your door again
I passed a window but I could not see no reflection
I saw a sign on the street but I could not read what it said
I found a picture beneath my feet that reminded
Me of you who's layin' in bed
When the air of the evenin' stops its freezin'
And you can tell that the day is comin' soon
Like when the first mornin' birds start rustlin'
Singin' "where is my true love today"
[CH]
The winter winds are stinging lonesome
I'm walkin' the streets tryin' to show no pain
And where I'll be tonight there ain't no mistakin'
For I'll be knockin' at your door again
